Description: The enrichment deviation diagram of three groups based on LEfSe analysis (selection criteria: P<0.05; LDA score ≥ 4). Histogram of LDA value of intestinal microbiota in three groups. The column represents LDA Score, and the colors represent the microbiota in three groups, respectively. LEfSe cladogram of LEfSe analysis.
