Fig. 3. ARG-ARB network analysis. The left Sankey diagram shows the connectivity between the most prevalent ARB and their ARGs as well as the corresponding drug class.
Columns on the left represent ARB and corresponding ARGs by the reads-based method, and the right represents the assembly-based method. Different colors refer to different species and different drug resistance classes. The bottom right cumulative bar graph represents the distribution of the most abundant drug resistance classes in the BALF and sputum groups based on the two methods.
