<p>Associations between accessory gene features and isolation from middle-ear fluid (MEF) <i>vs.</i> nasopharynx/nasal passages (NP) by naïve Fisher’s exact test with a Benjamini-Hochberg adjusted p-value < 0.05 (FDR), as well as a “best” p-value for phylogenetic gene-trait co-occurrence of < 0.05 (Pairwise Comparisons – Best) from Scoary. All MEF isolates were collected from subjects during acute OM episodes, but NP isolates come from both health and OM disease. The numbers in parentheses indicate the subset of NP isolates collected during OM episodes instead of healthy visits. Further details are in S3 Table, including for two other clinical “traits”: whether isolated from an OM <i>versus</i> healthy visits or (b) whether from an OM-prone <i>versus</i> healthy subject. Only genes/operons that passed both the FDR-adjusted Fisher’s test and “best” comparisons of phylogenetic contrast at p < 0.05 were included. Genes strictly co-inherited across strains were treated as single</p>
