From: Tobacco use, self-reported professional dental cleaning habits, and lung adenocarcinoma diagnosis are associated with bronchial and lung microbiome alpha diversity

Fig. 5

Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) illustrates lung sample clustering by self-reported last professional dental cleaning. All lung samples were assessed by Bray-Curtis dissimilarity and illustrated by PCoA of Coordinate 1 (8.1% of variance) and Coordinate 2 (7.2% of variance). Samples were dichotomized by self-reported last dental cleaning (within the last 6 months vs. more than 6 months ago) for analysis, although samples are labeled here with additional detail. Self-reported last professional dental cleaning was associated with lung microbiome composition (p = 0.027, R2 = 0.016)
