Table 1.

Comparison of the bacterial richness and diversity in the group of ST3-carriers both immunocompromised and immunocompetent ones and Blastocystis-free subjects. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Significant results were marked with*.

Group of patients (N)	Richness estimator
Group of patients (N)	Observed OTUs	p-value K-W	Chao 1	p-value K-W
Blastocystis-free (9)	340.37	0.038^⁎	365.95	0.040^⁎
Blastocystis-ST3 carriers immunocompromised (9)	402.54		432.33
Blastocystis-ST3 carriers immunocompetent (9)	454.38		479.82
