Relative abundance (%) of bacterial species overrepresented ≥ 1.5 ×, or underrepresented ≤ 0.5 ×, in ADC versus SCC patients’ mouth wash. Y axis – number of patients, blue columns – ADC patients, orange columns – SCC patients, * – significant difference (p ≤ 0.05), ADC – adenocarcinoma, SCC – squamous cell carcinoma

Comparison of bacterial species cultured from rectal swabs in adenocarcinoma (ADC; n = 85) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC; n = 52) in NSCLC patients versus patients without confirmed lung cancer (n = 65). The species are ranked according to the measure of overrepresentation in ADC versus SCC patients (column 6, ADC/SCC ratio). Only those overrepresented ≥ 1,5 × or underrepresented ≤ 0,5 × are listed.
