Description: Comparisons of respiratory microbiota in severe TB and non‐severe TB groups. (A) Relative abundance of the top 10 respiratory microbiota at the phylum level. Relative abundance of the top 10 respiratory microbiota at the genus level. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) score histogram
Abundance in Group 1: increased abundance in Active pulmonary tuberculosis (severe TB)
