Figure 7.
Functional predictions for the intestinal microbiome of the ligation group, the non-surgical periodontal treatment group and the control group at 5weeks and 8weeks. The KOs with significantly different abundances at 5 weeks (C) and 8 weeks (A) are shown. (D) Significant KEGG pathways at level 2 at 5 weeks. Significant KEGG pathways at level 3 at 5 weeks (E) and 8 weeks (B). The LDA scores (log10)>2 and P < 0.05 are listed. F-5w-C, control group; F-5w-NL, non-surgical periodontal treatment group; F-5w-L, ligation group; F-8w-C, control group; F-8w-NL, non-surgical periodontal treatment group; F-8w-L, ligation group; KO, KEGG orthologs.
