Comparison of the relative abundance of bacterial Orders within the submucosa of the diseased ileum in Crohn's disease as compared to the ileal submucosa in nIBD controls.

<p>Various Orders, such as <i>Selenomonadales</i> and <i>Rhizobiales</i>, are absent or poorly represented with the mucosa of Crohn's disease tissue while other orders such as <i>Desulfovibrionales</i> and <i>Coriobacteriales</i> are absent or poorly represented in nIBD controls. Panel A: Relative abundance within submucosal tissues of each bacterial Order in each disease group. Panel B: Relative comparison and contribution of each Order to the total. <i>Legend</i>: Bacteria present in less than 50% of patients are excluded. All data presented are statistically significant (p = <0.05).
