Figure 2. Symptomatic atherosclerosis correlates with gut enterotypes.

(a) Three enterotypes in our cohort based on the abundance of genera. Controls and patients are denoted by filled triangles and empty triangles, respectively. Two subjects not included in the comparison are represented by empty circles. Green is enterotype 1, red is enterotype 2 and blue is enterotype 3. (b) Abundance of Bacteroides, Prevotella and Ruminococcus, proposed drivers of the three enterotypes. Boxes denote the interquartile range (IQR) between the first and third quartiles and the line within denotes the median; whiskers denote the lowest and highest values within 1.5 times IQR from the first and third quartiles, respectively. Circles denote data points beyond the whiskers.
