The table presents the number of patients a given species was detected in, and the mean abundance of sequences for a species across the samples it was observed to occupy. Mean contribution represents the average contribution of a given species to the average similarity between samples (overall mean=19.17%). Percentage contribution is the mean contribution divided by mean similarity across samples. The list of species is not complete so cumulative % value does not sum to 100%. Species level identities of detected taxa are reported here. However, given the length of the ribosomal sequences analysed, these identities should be considered putative.
