Bacterial community alterations before and after arthroplasty surgery assessed by 16S rRNA (V3-V4) gene sequencing. (A) PCoA plot of Hellinger transformed count data based on Bray–Curtis dissimilarity measures. (B) Bar plots of 59 bacterial communities from nares and (C) 39 groin communities before and after arthroplasty. Heatmaps showing patient-wise relative alterations in percentage points of the 10 most abundant bacterial genera from (D) nares and (E) groin before compared to after arthroplasty. Patients are clustered according to their similarity in relative abundance alteration for the top 10 most abundant genera. For information on prevalence data for selected bacterial species detected in this study, please refer to Figure S4.
