Figure 1: Crohn’s disease patients with higher perceived stress have differences in specific bacterial taxa compared to patients with lower perceived stress.
A) Crohn’s disease patients in the High PSS group had significantly lower relative abundances of Firmicutes (as determined by percentage of total sequences) (p<.05). B) Crohn’s disease patients in the High PSS group had a significant decrease in the relative abundance of Anaerostipes and a significant increase in Parabacteroides (FDR p<.05). Data show the arcsin of the square root of the proportion for each bacterial genus.
