Signature 1
Source: Figure 2A-C
Description: Alterations in the composition of the intestinal microbiome of MAF- and MTB-infected patients at the time of diagnosis. a. Relative abundances of the five most prominent phyla are compared between the three groups. b-c. LEfSe analyses were performed to identify differentially abundant families in the two infection groups, MAF and MTB, compared to the healthy participants (b) and between the two infection groups (c). Taxa are filtered for p < 0.05 and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) score > 2.
