Fig. 2From: Fecal microbiota composition is linked to the postoperative disease course in patients with Crohn’s diseaseDifferences in fecal microbiota composition in CD patients and healthy subjects (HS). Fecal samples from CD patients 1 year after ileocaecal resection (n = 21) and from HS (n = 7) were analyzed by the GA-map™ Dysbiosis test. a PCA plot of CD patients and HS based on fecal bacterial taxa (X-variables; n = 54). Lines to the centroid, showing the group mean, connect each group. OPLS-DA scatter plot (b) and loadings column plot (c) of CD patients and HS (Y-variables) and fecal bacterial taxa (X-variables; VIP > 1.1; n = 21). Statistically significant differences between study groups are indicated with asterisks in the OPLS-DA loadings column plot (* p ≤ 0.05; ** p ≤ 0.01; *** p ≤ 0.001; **** p ≤ 0.0001)Back to article page
