Characterization of gut microbiome and metabolome in Helicobacter pylori patients in an underprivileged community in the United States

Figure 3 Linear discriminant analysis effect size scores for taxa enriched in Helicobacter pylori or control participants. Linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) scores for taxa that were differentially distributed across Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) patients (n = 19) vs control subjects (n = 16) via Kruskal-Wallis and Wilcoxon tests with two-tailed α = 0.05. Negative values represent taxa that were enriched in H. pylori patients, whereas positive values represent taxa that were enriched in control subjects. Error bars represent a 95% confidence interval and are only present if the listed taxonomic identity was the lowest level classified for multiple operational taxonomic units highlighted by LEfSe. Color represents the phylum. H. pylori: Helicobacter pylori.
