Fig. 6

A Alpha-diversity analysis exposed that CB increased the Simpson index (n/High inflammatory group = 7, n/CB group = 7, n/NS group = 6). One-way ANOVA test for multiple comparisons with Tukey’s test for post hoc corrections. Data are presented as mean values with SD. Box plots indicate median and interquartile range. P-value is marked as follows: ***P ≤ 0.001. B Beta diversity analysis uncovered the bacterial community composition was notably different between High inflammatory group (n = 7) and CB group (n = 7). C LEfSe analysis showed that the abundance of Clostridia and Clostridiales were increased and that of Bacteroidaceae, Bacteroides were decreased in CB group (n = 7). All statistical tests are two-sided. Source data are provided as a Source Data file. CB Clostridium butyricum, NS Normal saline.
