The microbiome of an outpatient rehabilitation clinic and predictors of contamination: A pilot study
Fig 6
Beta diversity of clinic surface microbiome.
A. Beta diversity on a two-dimensional principle coordinate analysis plot with all surfaces samples marked individually. No clustering can be detected based on subjective analysis of the plot. B. Beta diversity on a three-dimensional plot with surfaces coded based on classification of surfaces as non-porous-hand contacted, non-porous-foot contacted and porous. In this plot there is separation of the samples coded red (porous), blue (non-porous, foot contacted) and yellow (non-porous, hand-contacted) along the X-axis. Only 28 of the 36 samples were include and samples 6, 17, 24, 27, 28, 29, 31, and 33 could not be analyzed due to insufficient reads. Abbreviations are as follows: PC = principal coordinate; PCoA = principal coordinate analysis.
