Influence of Microbiota on Diabetic Foot Wound in Comparison with Adjacent Normal Skin Based on the Clinical Features

Figure 3

Diversity and significantly different microbial taxa in skin and tissue samples were compared between mild and severe groups. Diversity and significantly different members of microbiota were compared between (a) lower grade (G0-2) and higher grade (G3-5) of Wagner classification and (b) superficial infection and deep infection. Median values and lower/upper quartiles were shown in boxplot. The significance of differences between groups was calculated by Mann-Whitney U-test (∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01).
