Taxonomic analysis of gut microbiota of cancer patients. (a) Taxonomic bar plot showing comparison of microbial composition at phylum level in symptomatic patients who are receiving treatment (S + T), asymptomatic and receiving treatment (A + T), asymptomatic and pre-treatment (A + P) and control. (b). Top 5 phyla with altered relative abundance in cancer patients at pre-treatment (P) and treatment (T) adjusted by GI symptoms. Pairwise comparison between two groups was marked as asterisk for significant differences in relative abundance based on Wilcoxon rank sum test (*p ≤ 0.05, ** p ≤ 0.01, *** p ≤ 0.001). (c) Bacillota/Bacteroidota (B/B) ratio in abundance of cancer patients and control.
