Bacterial variation in the oral microbiota in multiple sclerosis patients
Fig 1
DGGE of PCR product; any band shows any bacterial genus or species.
This method identified a greater number of bacteria than the cultural method. Sequencing detected B5, B6, S5, S6 etc. bands in DGGE method (not culture). Bacteria numbers: 1(Bacteroides), 2(B5), 3(B6), 4(Bifidobacterium), 5(Staphylococcus), 6(Peptostreptococcus), 7(Actinomyces), 8(Lactobacillus), 9(Streptococcus), 10(Micrococcus), 11(Prevotella), 12(Lactobacillus), 13(B10), 14(Porphyromonas), 15(S5), 16(S6), 17(S8), 18(B7), 19(B8), 20(S10), 21(S9), 22(B10), 23(B11), 24(S12), 25(B12), 26(Enterococcus). wells 1 and 14 were mix of bacteria. 3,5,7,9,11,13 were patient samples. 2,4,6,8,10,12 were healthy control.
