Specific bacterial genera correlate with clinicopathologic features. Mean relative abundances (proportions) of bacterial genera that were differentially present in distinct breast tissue types (a) and in breast tumors stratified by cancer stage (b), histologic grade (c), and histologic subtype (d). Stages 0 and 1 were combined for analysis due to the very small number of samples classified as stage 0. Crossed-out boxes indicate samples for which specific genera were not detected. Color bars vary on a logarithmic scale. All genera shown had FDR-corrected p-value < 0.05 by Kruskal–Wallis H-test after adjustments for age, race, and hospital
