Comparison of microbial function prediction of bile microbiome of choledocholithiasis patients with different prognosis post endoscopic sphincterotomy. Functional analysis was performed at the 2nd hierarchy level of the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways in the bile microbiome of choledocholithiasis patients. Wilcoxon test was applied to the comparison of each category of microbial function; those with significant differences are shown in the bar chart. Statistical significance is expressed as aP < 0.05, bP < 0.01.
