Impact of antibiotics administration on the gut microbiota of SCI patients. (A) Principal Coordinates Analysis based on Bray–Curtis distances between the genus-level microbial profiles of SCI patients according to antibiotics administration and timing (i.e., no antibiotic therapy, and therapy in the 3 days or between 4 and 10 days before fecal sampling). A significant separation among groups was found (p = 0.001, permutation test with pseudo-F ratios). (B) Box plots showing the distribution of the relative abundance values of discriminant genera. p ≤ 0.05, Kruskal–Wallis test.
