Abstract:<p>Obesity influences breast tumor microbiota populations. Breast tumor 16S sequencing results were stratified based upon patient body mass index (BMI). Tumor bacterial populations from non-obese patients with a BMI of 20-27 (n=9) were compared with bacterial populations from obese patients with a BMI of 31-48 (n=8). A. Relative abundance of bacterial genera in different tumor samples is visualized by bar plots. Each bar represents a single tumor and each colored box a bacterial taxon. The height of a co… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
