Fig 2. Microbial abundance.
Distribution of reads classified as Bacteria, Archaea, fungi, protozoa and virus within each sample (A) and sample type (B and C) based on samples from mild (M, n = 17) and severe (S, n = 19) udder cleft dermatitis (UCD) and samples from skin at the fore udder attachment from healthy controls (C, n = 13). The P-values from comparing the abundance between sample types are denoted in the margins of B and C by *** if P≤0.001, ** if P≤0.01 and * if P≤0.05. The exact P-values were for Bacteria: C/M P = 0.01, C/S P<0.0001, M/S P = 0.02, Archaea: C/M P = 0.0007, C/S P<0.0001, M/S P = 0.004, fungi: C/M P = 0.05, C/S P = 0.0007, protozoa: C/M P = 0.04, and viruses: C/M P = 0.2, C/S P = 0.002.
