Fig. 2. Fecal microbial composition. Top 20 members in relative abundance at the genus level at the pre-infection (A) the post-infection (B) and the post-treatment stages (C). Alpha diversity levels at the pre-infection (D), the post-infection (E), and the post-treatment stages (F). Shannon and Observed species indices were used to reflect the level of Alpha diversity. The horizontal coordinates are the grouping labels and the vertical coordinates are the values of the corresponding alpha diversity indices. In the box-and-line plot, the meanings of the symbols are as follows: upper and lower end lines of the box, upper and lower quartiles (Interquartile range (IQR)); median line, median; upper and lower margins, maximum and minimum inner circumference values (1.5 times IQR); and points outside the upper and lower margins, indicating outliers. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used for alpha diversity. ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05.
