A Principle Coordinate Analysis (PCoA) plot of ear microbiota of all samples, grouped by ear diagnoses. Group 1 (red): Ear disease with tympanic membrane perforation, Group 2 (green): Ear disease with intact tympanic membranes, Group 3 (blue): No ear disease with tympanic membrane perforation, Group 4 (purple): No disease and intact tympanic membrane. B Bacterial taxa that differed significantly between ear diagnosis groups. Performed by linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe). C Absolute load of Haemophilus influenzae between groups. D Absolute load of Moraxella catarrhalis between groups. * indicates taxa that are commonly associated with reagent contaminants
