Fig 1. Effect on microbiome diversity and community structure following TB disease caused by MAF and MTB.

Fig 1

a. Alpha diversity in the healthy, MAF and MTB groups were estimated using the Shannon index. Error bars indicate minimum and maximum values. Significant differences are indicated. *p < 0.05 (Mann-Whitney U test). b. Beta-diversity estimates were calculated using the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity index and represented here on a principal component (PC) plot. Each circle denotes a single patient and is color-coded by group as indicated in the key. Statistical significance was calculated using PERMANOVA with 999 permutations and is indicated for each comparison (n.s.–not significant).
