Figure Lengend Snippet: Taxonomic features of the faecal microbiota of patients with PTB and controls. Comparisons of the relative abundances of intestinal microbiota between the PTB and HCs groups were conducted at the phylum (A), family (B) and genus (C) level; # P < 0.05. A LEfSe analysis identified the differentially abundant taxa between the PTB and HCs groups. The HC‐enriched taxa are indicated with a negative LDA score (red), and the taxa enriched in the patients with PTB are characterized by a positive score (green). Only taxa with an LDA threshold greater than 4.0 are displayed (D). LDA, linear discriminant analysis. The circular cladogram was derived from the LEfSe analysis and showed the relationship between the most differentially abundant taxa in the patients with PTB (green) and the HCs (red). HCs, healthy controls; LEfSe, linear discriminant analysis effect size; PTB, pulmonary tuberculosis.
