Signature 1
Source: Fig. 5A & 5B
Description: A Cladogram and LEfSe analyses of microbiomes among HB (red), KB (green), and KP (blue) groups. Taxa in graph were with LDA score threshold > 2.0 and statistically significant (p < 0.05).
Abundance in Group 1: increased abundance in KB group - Bladder urine from kidney stone patients.
