From: Mucosa-associated gut microbiota reflects clinical course of ulcerative colitis
Comparison of gut microbiota composition in endoscopically active group among response, refractory, and non-response groups according to later clinical course. (A) Comparisons of α-diversity of gut microbiota composition among response (n = 6), refractory (n = 6), and non-response groups (n = 6) as assessed by the Chao1 index, the Shannon index, and whole-tree phylogenetic diversity (PD). (B) Principal coordinate analysis of gut microbiota by unweighted and weighted UniFrac among response (n = 6), refractory (n = 13), and non-response groups (n = 8). Each ellipse indicates 50% probability. (C) Comparison of taxonomic composition of microbiota including Bacteroides, Enterobacteriaceae, and Prevotella among response (n = 6), refractory (n = 13), and non-response groups (n = 8). *Statistically significant difference between the 2 indicated groups (p < 0.05). **Statistically significant difference between the 2 indicated groups (p < 0.01). n.s., no significant difference between the 2 indicated groups.
