Gut microbiota diversity in patients with or without respiratory dysfunction at the 3‐month follow‐up. Beta diversity by principal coordinate analysis showing Bray–Curtis distances separating patients with or without respiratory dysfunction (diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide < lower limit of normal, n = 83) (a), with overlapping microbiota composition in relation to antibiotic use (b). Alpha diversity measured with observed ASVs (c) and Faith`s PD (d) in patients with or without respiratory dysfunction. Abbreviations: ASVs, amplicon sequence variants; PD, phylogenetic diversity.
