The abundances of certain bacteria are associated with silicosis. a A cladogram showing the gut microbiota community structures as well as the different predominant bacteria between the two groups. b Seven discriminating features obtained by LEfSe analysis indicating different bacterial abundances between the groups. c The abundances of the fecal species Bacteroides and Escherichia-Shigella were decreased in the guts of patients, whereas those ofMegamonas,Lachnospiraceae,Lachnoclostridium,and Parabacteroides were increased at genuslevel (cd). d The features indicating different abundances in the fecal samples between the patients with silicosis and healthy controls (LDA score > 4, p < 0.05, d)
