Table 1. Median binding values of each isolate to mucin from controls and the UC colon and Kruskal-Wallis tests comparing the binding of clinical isolates to that of the reference strain for A. muciniphila and Desulfovibrio spp.
| A. muciniphila | Median binding to Control mucin(FU) | IQR | Kruskal-Wallis and Wilcoxin-Mann-Whitney | Fold change in binding compared to the reference strain | Median binding to UC mucin (FU) | IQR | Kruskal-Wallis and Wilcoxin-Mann-Whitney | Fold change in binding compared to the reference strain |
