Table 3.
GLMs for the different genera controlling for other confounders between the PD and healthy groups.
| Study group | Genus | b value | 95% CI | P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Isoptericola | 2.309 | 1.174–3.444 | <0.0001 | |
| Cloacibacterium | 1.360 | 0.615–2.110 | 0.0003 | |
| PD vs. Healthy | Enhydrobacter | 1.363 | 0.603–2.121 | 0.0004 |
| Microbacterium | 0.590 | 0.075–1.110 | 0.025 | |
| Limnobacter | −0.712 | −1.347–0.077 | 0.028 |
Result of the GLMs for significant genera (sequence counts) based on the group factors (PD and healthy group) and possible confounding factors (age, gender, BMI and constipation) of 90 individuals. The b value positive (negative) mean the genus was associated with the PD (healthy) group. GLM, general linear model; CI, confidence interval; BMI, body mass index.
