Statistical comparison of the relative abundance (a, b) and alpha diversities (c, d) of the oral microbiota observed in each of the four groups of rats. a Comparison of dominant phyla in the control (c group), xylose (x group), sucrose (s group), and saccharin (sa group) groups. b Comparison of the dominant genera in the control (c group), xylose (x group), sucrose (s group), and saccharin (sa group) groups. c Bacterial community richness in each of the four groups. d Bacterial community diversity in each of the four groups. p < 0.05 was considered significant. * 0.01 < p ≤ 0.05, ** 0.001 < p ≤ 0.01, *** p ≤ 0.001
