The composition and comparison of bacteria in non-PEI and PEI groups. Stacked bar chart comparing microbiome at the phylum level (a) and genus level (b) in the non-PEI and PEI groups. c Comparison of microbiomes between groups. Bacterial names shown with green bars had significantly higher relative abundance in the PEI group than in the non-PEI group, and bacterial names shown with red bars had significantly lower relative abundance in the PEI group than in the non-PEI group. A comparison of microbiomes showed increases in the genera Clostridium, Lachnospira, Veillonella, Selenomonas, and Anaerococcus in the PEI group (P < 0.05). Increases in the genera Enterococcus and Lactobacillus, and genera Leptotrichia, Prevotella, Serratia, and Aggregatibacter were also noted (P < 0.05)
