TW: Tropheryma whipplei.
Sequence number: The number of specific sequences that are unique to a genus or species of microorganisms in a high-throughput sequencing sequence.
Relative abundance: Pathogens are classified according to bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites, and relative abundance is the relative proportion of the genome of the pathogen in the corresponding classification.
