Mammary tumors alter the fecal bacteriome, even following resection. 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing reveals that Tumor and Resected mice tend to have higher fecal bacterial diversity as measured by observed amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) relative to Control mice (A). Tumor, Resected, and Control mice have distinct fecal bacterial populations as measured by: Bray-Curtis (p = 0.001) (B), Weighted UniFrac (p = 0.004) (C), and Unweighted UniFrac distances (p = 0.001) (D). Control, Tumor, and Resected mice also host multiple different relative abundances of bacterial genera (D).  ★= Tumor and Resected different from Control, *= Tumor different from Control, â–¼= Resected different from Tumor and Control, Triangle (up)▲ = Resected different from Control
