Comparison of healthy (n = 13) and UC-associated (n = 30) fecal microbiotas. (a) Bacterial α diversity. Horizontal bars represent means ± standard deviations. P values were obtained by two-tailed Student t test. (b) Bacterial community composition represented by nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) of pairwise weighted UniFrac distances. Compositional bar plots of the mean relative abundance of bacterial families (c) and fungal genera (d) are shown. (e) Bacterial community composition of UC patients stratified by ethnicity (18 EU UC, 12 SA UC) represented by NMDS of pairwise weighted UniFrac distances. In panels b and e, each dashed ellipse represents the 95% confidence interval for the centroid of each stratification group as calculated by ordiellipse.
