Fusobacterium nucleatum promotes colon cancer progression by changing the mucosal microbiota and colon transcriptome in a mouse model

Figure 2 Diversity and shared operational taxonomic units of the gut microbiota in different groups. A: Nonmetric multidimensional plot of the cecal microbiota from the 14 samples based on Bray-Curtis similarities; B: Principal coordinate analysis plot of the cecal microbiota from the 14 samples based on Bray-Curtis similarities; C: Weighted UniFrac distance of the samples from different groups. Kruskal-Wallis test: P = 6.12 × 10^-7; D: Number of shared operational taxonomic units between the samples from the azoxymethane-dextran sulfate sodium salt (AOM/DSS)-FUSO group and the AOM/DSS group. AOM: Azoxymethane; DSS: Dextran sulfate sodium salt.
