Baseline duodenal microbial differences between patients who developed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as compared to those that never did. a Principal coordinate analysis plot of microbial composition colored by HCC development. b Alpha diversity by Shannon Index of the microbial community between patients that developed HCC as compared to those that did not. Taxonomic plots by c phyla and genus d between patients who did develop HCC as compared to those that did not. Only taxa that had a relative abundance of ≥ 1% are shown
