Binary Sorenson-Dice Dissimilarity Index between VHD and LHD. (a) Binary Sorenson–Dice Dissimilarity (BSDD) index (y-axis) between drinking type gut microbiota violin plots showing BSDD for individual LHD (red) and VHD (blue) subjects with AUD longitudinally followed after abstinence. BSDD values were significantly different between LHD and VHD at the first and 5 day comparisons (t-test, p < .03) and also at the first and week 3 comparisons (t-test, p < .02). (b) Average BSDDs for each participant (y-axis) for LHD and VHD. Average BSDD for LHD tightly clustered between 0.1 and 0.2. Average BSDD for VHD showed a larger range from 0.13 to 0.43.
