Figure 2

Relatedness of microbial communities. Box-and-whisker plots of pairwise Bray-Curtis distances of the mycobiome and microbiome of cystic fibrosis (CF) subjects. (A) Fungal samples from unrelated subjects on different treatments (UNR) are no more different than samples from unrelated subjects on the same treatments (STX). Mycobiome samples from the same subject (SPT) were significantly more similar to each other (P <0. 001) by a Tukey’s honest significant test than mycobiome samples from the same treatment group, suggesting that patients’ fungal communities are specific to patients and remain relatively stable during treatment. (B) Bacterial genera from the same subject (SPT) were marginally more similar than unrelated subjects on different treatments (UNR) or unrelated subjects on the same treatments (STX) but these differences were not significant by a Tukey’s honest significant test.
