Fig. 6

Network analysis showing associations between antibiotic resistance and bacterial taxa in oral biofilm samples of 179 study participants. A The associations between ARGs and species/genera that were found through metagenomic sequencing. Each connection means that the resp. ARG was associated with the resp. taxon. The colour and width of the edges represent the number of samples in which the association between ARG and taxa was found. Only associations with taxa on the genus or species level are shown. B Associations between antibiotic resistance and bacterial species that were found from both the phenotypic testing and the metagenomic sequencing. The yellow edges indicate that association was only found in the phenotypic tests, the blue edges represent associations that were only found by sequencing, while the green edges are associations that were found by both methods
