The association between bacterial proportion and diversity on cytokines responses in helminth-negative and -positive subjects. The effect of bacterial proportions on cytokine responses was analyzed for helminth-negative [helminth(−)] and helminth-positive [helminth(+)] groups by a linear mixed model. Estimated effects ± 95% CI are shown for the effect of Actinobacteria (A) , Bacteroidetes (B), Firmicutes (C) and diversity (D) on cytokine responses. For assessing statistical significance modified Bonferroni correction was applied; *p-value ≤ 0.025 (for LPS and PHA responses).
