Fig. 1From: Mucosa‐associated cultivable aerobic gut bacterial microbiota among colorectal cancer patients attending at the referral hospitals of Amhara Regional State, EthiopiaBox-Whisker plot of bacterial microbiota abundance in normal and malignant tissue biopsies of CRC patients. The plot shows median values, means (+ sign in boxes), interquartile ranges (IQR) (boxes) and 1.5 × IQR (whiskers). Bacterial population isolated from paired biopsies of CRC patients was significantly associated with the occurrence of tumor at (*p < 0.05) or being normal tissue at (**p < 0.01)Back to article page
