  1. The relative abundance of the various phyla is shown on the left side. p values are shown on the right, only for phyla that were significantly different when comparing between sample types from patients and controls together (all samples), or the control and TB patient groups separately. p values were corrected using FDR. O oropharynx, N nasal, S sputum.
