Heatmaps of samples from patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) at hospital admission (T1; n=16) and discharge (T2; n=10) at the (A) phylum and (B) genus taxonomic levels. Bacterial composition was characterized by 454 pyrosequencing of the 16S rRNA gene, and sequencing results were processed by the Quantitative Insights Into Microbial Ecology (QIIME) pipeline. A global, multivariate hypothesis test was used to test for differences in abundance across all bacterial groups at once, per taxonomic level, and indicated significant differences between T1 and T2 at the phylum (p=0.042) and genus (p=0.041) levels. Bacterial taxa are listed vertically, and samples are grouped horizontally by time point (T1 or T2). Greater abundance is designated by darker shading. * [Ruminococcus] indicates unspecified genera in the Ruminococcaceae family.
