Description: Differential abundance of bacterial OTUs in buccal swab samples that were statistically significantly different (α = 0.001) between time-points 1 and 4. The OTUs are colored by user groups (cigarette user (CG), orange; smokeless tobacco user (ST), green; non-user (NU), grey). A positive log2-fold change value denotes an OTU that is significantly higher in time-point 1 samples, while a negative log2-fold change indicates an OTU that is significantly higher in time-point 4 samples.

Abundance in Group 1: increased abundance in Cigarette users at time 4 (CG)
