High-abundance bacterial genera are greatly related to other tumor-induced physiological changes. Parameters that were significantly different by tumor status are highly interrelated as shown by correlation network analysis (A). Lactobacillus seems highly related to tumor-induced changes in that this genera has the highest betweenness centrality (B) and closeness centrality (C) (measures of high inter-connectively) among all other included parameters. Bacteroides (another high-abundance genus) also clusters perfectly with all other related parameters (clustering coefficient of 1), and LBP-related parameters are almost all also related to one another (clustering coefficient 0.73) (D) ND = Not Detected, E-S = Escherichia-Shigella, Staph. = Staphylococcus, Micro. = micrococcus.
