Identification of bacterial populations in subgingival plaque of West Virginians. Bacterial composition in plaque samples was determined using 16S rRNA gene sequencing in 2 low and 5 high oral disease COHRA participants, ranked based on periodontal exams, and 5 Cognitive study participants, ranked based on caries index. DM is a low periodontal disease control sample obtained through the West Virginia University Dental Clinic. Each numbered box indicates the percentage of clones of the type-specific bacterial 16S rRNA gene relative to the total number of clones sequenced, which is indicated at the bottom of each column. The color of the box reflects observed counts.
