CCI results in decreased alpha diversity as measured by Shannon diversity index and altered beta diversity as measured by Bray–Curtis dissimilarity and weighted UniFrac distance. Alpha diversity: (A) the Shannon diversity index was significantly reduced in mice with CCI as compared to sham controls, but this injury effect did not depend on collection timepoint. (B) Faith’s phylogenetic diversity was not altered by injury or time point. Statistical comparison by mixed-effects analysis (whiskers represent minimum and maximum, box represents 25th–75th percentile, and line represents median value). Beta diversity: Principal coordinate analysis visualizations for (C) Bray–Curtis Dissimilarity (p = 0.002), (D) UniFrac distance (p = 0.053), and (E) weighted UniFrac distance (p = 0.009). Statistical comparison of Beta Diversity by PERMANOVA (nsham = 6, nCCI = 7).
