  		Figure 1. Prevalence of 39 bacterial species or phylotypes in 66 subjects with periodontitis and 66 healthy control subjects. Differences significant by chi-square analysis with P < 0.05 are marked "*" after the species name; differences significant with P < 0.002 are marked "**".

  		Figure 2. Prevalence ratios (calculated like a relative risk) for 39 bacterial species or phylotypes for 66 subjects with periodontitis and 66 healthy control subjects. Ninety-five percent confidence intervals are shown as bars. The values to the left of 1 show species more common in health than in disease, and those to the right of 1 show species more common in disease than in health. Confidence intervals could not be calculated for F. nucleatum or G. morbillorum, since there were 0 subjects without the bacteria in the disease group.
