Description: Differentially represented taxa between normal breast tissue samples and breast tumour tissue. (B) Comparison of microbiome in primary tumours of 72 patients from China and 18 normal breast tissues of cancer-free donors from China. For visualisation, LEfSe was run with parameters (LDA > 5.5, Kruskal Wallis test p-value < 0.05, Wilcoxon test p-value < 0.05), for the purpose of visualising the best hits.
