Fig. 2: Alpha and beta diversity from nasopharyngeal aspirate (NPA) microbiota in the patients with wheezing vs non-wheezing.
From: Factors influencing preterm infant microbiota and their role in wheezing development
a–c Boxplot showing richness, Shannon and Simpson diversity indices according to the wheezing and non-wheezing groups in the NPA samples. d Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) plot based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarities of nasopharyngeal (e) and Bray-Curtis distance microbiota composition of samples from all patients included in the study. f Non-metric multidimensional escalation (NMDS) plot based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarities of nasopharyngeal. P-value corresponds to the Adonis PERMANOVA test.
