Clostridiales_Incertae Sedis XIV	7.35	1.59	0.99	0.21	0.0009	0.007
Ruminococcaceae	17.72	1.89	5.68	1.42	0.0009	0.007
Lachnospiraceae	23.44	2.24	9.54	3.72	0.0039	0.022
Enterobacteriaceae	0.00	0.00	10.02	4.13	0.0049	0.026
Streptococcaceae	0.62	0.26	4.05	1.98	0.0239	0.099
Fusobacteriaceae	0.00	0.00	1.36	0.95	0.0369	0.146
Alcaligenaceae	0.89	0.34	2.61	0.74	0.048	0.169

This table shows the differences between bacterial abundances in stool of controls with patients with HE; only those bacteria whose abundances were >1% and were significantly different between groups are shown. There was a significantly higher abundance of Enterobacteriaceae, Fusobacteriaceae, Leuconostocaceae, Streptococcaceae, and Alcaligenaceae in patients with HE, whereas the rest of the bacteria listed were lower in the HE group.
