Associations between fecal microbiota and postsurgical disease course in CD. Fecal microbiota from CD patients with endoscopic disease relapse (n = 8) and patients with endoscopic disease remission (n = 13) 1 year after ileocaecal resection was analyzed by the GA-map™ Dysbiosis test. a PCA plot of CD patients with disease relapse and patients with remission based on fecal bacterial taxa (X-variables; n = 54). Lines to the centroid, showing the group mean, connect each group. b Cluster analysis of fecal bacterial taxa (n = 54) from CD patients with disease relapse and remission 1 year after ileocaecal resection (n = 21). OPLS-DA scatter plot (c) and loadings column plot (d) of postoperative disease course (Y-variables, i.e., disease relapse vs remission) and fecal bacterial taxa (X-variables; VIP > 1.2; n = 10). Statistically significant differences between study groups are indicated with asterisks in the OPLS-DA loadings column plot (* p ≤ 0.05; ** p ≤ 0.01)
