Figure 2. Bacterial composition at the phylum level based on 16S rDNA sequencing in Edo and modern samples with periodontitis.

Caption

The 16S rDNA sequencing revealed that the bacterial composition of Edo and modern samples with periodontitis were different. Interestingly, several bacteria observed in modern samples were not detected in the Edo samples.
