a Alpha-diversity measured using Faith’s PD (p = 0.032); b PCoA of weighted UniFrac distances of samples treated with testosterone and controls (p = 0.001); c–e Phylum-level relative abundance analysis using ANCOM revealed lower abundance of (c) Proteobacteria (W = 4) and higher abundance of (d) Bacteroidetes (W = 3) and (e) Firmicutes (W = 3) in males and females together (n = 12). f At the genus level, abundance of Burkholderia in the control group was higher compared to the treatment group in males and females together (W = 54), and g Bacteroidales_S24-7 was higher in the treated group in females (n = 6) (W = 8).
