Compared with that in the male WT and male Nrf2 KO control groups, the abundance of L. murinus was lower in the female WT and female Nrf2 KO AOM/DSS-treated groups (p = 0.021 for female WT control vs. female AOM/DSS-treated and p = 0.005 for male Nrf2 KO control vs. male Nrf2 KO AOM/DSS-treated) (Figures 6B, C). Here, NFE2L2 is linked to infectious otitis media.
