Microbial composition of tonsils and pus on phylum, genus and species level according to mean relative abundance. On genus and species level, top 10 bacterial taxa from both sample types are shown. Compared to pus, Bacteroidota and Proteobacteria relative abundances were significantly higher in tonsils (p = 0.038 and < 0.001, respectively), while pus samples contained more Firmicutes and Actinobacteria (p < 0.001 and 0.017, respectively). * - Allorhizobium-Neorhizobium-Pararhizobium-Rhizobium group
