Test of significance for the differences between groups using the multiresponse permutation procedures based on species abundance. Measure of distance based on Bray‒Curtis. A significance of delta (P_Value) of P < 0.05 indicates that the difference is significant. A = chance-corrected within-group agreement, A > 0 indicates that the difference between the groups is greater than the difference within the group, and A < 0 indicates that the intragroup difference is greater than the intergroup difference. Observe_delta, the smaller the observed delta value, the smaller the intragroup difference. Except_delta, the larger the value of except delta, the larger the difference between groups. Con, control group; FMT, fecal microbiota transplantation group; AB, antibiotic group.
