Comparison of taxonomic differences and antimicrobial associations in sepsis and non-sepsis samples. (a) Bar plots represent the Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) score > 2 values taxons between sepsis and no sepsis samples. (b) The relative frequencies of these bacteria were visualized with bar plots. (c) Radar chart was used to estimate the differences between postadmission and antemortem samples regarding the selected taxons. (d) The distribution of the selected taxons was checked in different sample types. (e) Pie charts were used to visualize the 9 antimicrobial classes that related to the selected taxons. Asterisks indicate significant difference (* p < 0.05, **p < 0.01).
