Description: Differential abundance analysis was performed using Linear Discriminant Analysis Effect Size (LEfSe) on MTB and negative sputum samples. 2(B) Bar plots display differentially abundant bacterial taxa across various taxonomic ranks. 4(B) Bar plots display differentially abundant fungal taxa across various taxonomic ranks.
