Discriminatory power of selected OTUs for prediction of mastitis susceptibility. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves and area under the curve (AUC) values were used to assess the discriminatory power of the relative abundances of selected OTUs (foundation OTUs and/or OTUs that were associated with the incidence of clinical mastitis during the 90-day post-sampling record keeping period) to predict susceptibility to clinical mastitis. Color codes represent the logistic regression models that were used for ROC analysis: “blue” denotes ROC based on the inclusion of OTU16, “red” denotes model 1: based on the combination of OTU16, OTU6366, and OTU978, “green” model 2: based on the combination of OTU16, OTU6366, OTU111, and OTU978, “brown” model 3: based on the combination of OTU16, OTU6366, OTU79, and OTU978, and “purple” model 4: based on the combination of OTU16, OTU6366, OTU79, OTU978, and OTU 111. The straight line represents the null model
