Differentially abundant gene functions between the non-bacteremic and bacteremic groups in the biofilm microbiome in extracorporeal membrane oxygenator catheters (ECMO).

Abstract

(A) Gene functions enriched in the non-bacteremic group are colored green. The box plot represents the predicted value of the secretion system. Functional categories of genes on the ECMO catheters were predicted using Phylogenetic Investigation of Communities by Reconstruction of Unobserved States. Differentially abundant functions were identified using linear discriminant analysis coupled with effect size measurements.</p
