Signature 1
Source: Figure 4
Description: Taxonomic differences of gut microbiota between recovered HCWs and HCs. Comparison of relative abundance at the bacterial phylum (A), family (B), genus (C), and species (D) between the two groups. p-value < 0.05 is considered to be statistically significant, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
Abundance in Group 1: increased abundance in Recovered COVID-19 patients
