Table 2.
Estimate richness (Chao1) and diversity index (Shannon) indices among microbial communities obtained from fecal samples from CAD-DM2 and CAD-NDM2 patients.
CAD-DM2 patients | CAD-NDM2 patients | P∗ | |
---|---|---|---|
(n = 16) | (n = 16) | ||
Chao 1 | 374.01 ± 50.52 | 328.37 ± 66.20 | 0.036 |
Shannon | 4.59 ± 0.68 | 5.90 ± 0.57 | <0.001 |
The richness estimator Chao and diversity estimator Shannon were calculated at 3% distance. ∗P < 0.05.
