Statistically significant differences in Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio between NW and OB. The statistical significance was calculated by the non- parametric Mann–Whitney test in R software v.3.5.2. Plots were generated in R software v.3.5.2 (ggplot2 package). The Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio was significantly higher in OB, with a value more than twice that of NW (p = 0.007; M ± SD: 4.05 ± 5.26 in OB, M ± SD: 1.75 ± 1.82 in NW). p value equal to or less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. NW = normal-weight healthy controls, OB = overweight and obese patients.
