Figure 2.
Microbiota composition of BALF samples in IPF and healthy subjects. The microbiota in IPF patients and healthy subjects (including smokers and non-smokers) were shown at the phylum (A), class (B), order (C), family (D), and genus (E) levels. Species with a median relative abundance larger than 0.01% of the total abundance in either the control group or the IPF group were included for comparison. P stands for IPF group, N stands for non-smoking normal subjects, S stands for smoking normal subjects. All results are presented as the median, the 25–75 % percentiles and the variation range; results for IPF group (P) are presented as yellow boxes, smoking control subjects (S) are marked with pink boxes and non-smoking control subjects (N) are marked with violet boxes. Blue dots represent the abnormal observations at the corresponding taxonomic levels.
