^∗Association based on the higher abundance of the respective OTU (in either the controls or patients with FPIES).

^†Taxonomy assignment on the basis of best hit against the National Center for Biotechnology Information 16S reference database, taking into account the complete alignment of the OTU sequence.

^‡Taxonomy assignment based on a sequence identity. Only scores higher than 97% are shown, indicating reliable taxonomy identifications.

^§LDA and P value according to LDA effect size analysis.
