Combination of Oxalobacter Formigenes and Veillonella Parvula in Gastrointestinal Microbiota Related to Bile-Acid Metabolism as a Biomarker for Hypertensive Nephropathy

Variations of fecal microbiota in H-CKD, hypertension and healthy control. (a) Relative proportions of bacterial phyla in H-CKD (n = 11), hypertension (n = 30), and healthy control (n = 10); different colors represent different phyla; It suggests biodiversity in every individual; no significant different phylum was found among the three groups (#: ); (b) rate of relative proportions of F/B. F/B in both H-CKD and hypertensive is significantly lower than it in Healthy Control group. F/B: Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes.
