Cohort 1: principal coordinate plots of gut microbiome composition and function during acute COVID-19. Principal coordinate plots from 16S sequencing results based on OTU read count from samples gathered during acute COVID-19. (a) Microbial composition, organized by subject (each individual patient has a unique color) at 6 months of follow-up after COVID-19. (b) Microbial composition, organized by GI symptoms at 6 months of follow-up. (c) Microbial function, imputed from 16S sequencing results and organized by GI symptoms at 6 months of follow-up. GI symptoms were classified based on IBS-SSS points. COVID-19, coronavirus-19 disease; GI, gastrointestinal; IBS-SSS, Irritable Bowel Syndrome Severity Scoring System; OTU, operational taxonomic unit.
