Figure 4

The composition, alpha diversity, and beta diversity of the fecal microbiome in mice. (a) Relative abundance distribution of major phyla of fecal microbiota in each group. (b) Relative abundance distribution of major genera of fecal microbiota in each group. (c) Shannon index of fecal microbiota based on the OTU counts. (d) Simpson index of fecal microbiota based on the OTU counts. (e) Weighted PCoA of fecal microbiota. NC: natural control group; HP: H. pylori model group; RAC: standard triple therapy group; RACS: standard triple therapy+sucralfate group; RACB: bismuth-containing quadruple therapy group; F: fecal microbiota; OTU: operational taxonomic unit; PCoA: principal coordinates analysis.
