Comparison of the phylum Bacteroidetes and the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes (F/B) ratio. (A) The phylum Bacteroidetes (Prevotella + Bacteroides) was decreased; (B) the F/B ratio was increased in the coronary artery disease (CAD) group. Kruskal -Wallis test followed by Dunn's post-hoc analysis was used to calculate p-values (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001). The phylum Firmicutes = Lactobacillales + Clostridium. The phylum Bacteroidetes = Bacteroides + Prevotella.
