Associations of disease-linked microbiota with clinical indicators and bile acids. (A) Heatmap of Spearman correlation coefficients between the fecal microbiome and indicators of liver function. (B) Heatmap of Spearman correlation coefficients between the fecal microbiome and bile acid profiles in BA. Blue and red denote negative and positive correlations, respectively. The depth of the color indicates the correlation between the genus and environmental factors. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
