Figure 6.

Bootstrapped non-metric multi-dimensional scaling (nMDS) plot of bacterial community of tissue from different liver scores. The matrix was constructed using the Bray–Curtis similarity index (beta-diversity) by liver grades and randomly resampled a minimum of 50 times. Liver abscess score are 0, no abscesses or scars (n = 22); Sc, inactive scar (n = 7); A−, one to two small abscesses (n = 3); A, one or two large abscesses or several small abscesses (n = 2); A+, multiple large abscesses (n = 6); A+AD, adhesion (n = 13). The 2-dimension stress = 0.06, indicating how well the ordination summarizes the observed Glow outside of observations indicate the 95% confidence interval.
