WQP modulated gut microbiota at phylum and genus levels and LEfSe analysis of the dominant biomarker taxa among the six groups. (a) Phylum level. (b) Ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes. (c) The heat map of taxa in six groups at genus level. (d) Effects of WQP on the level of the representative bacteria at genus level. (e) LDA score distribution histogram. (f) Evolutionary cladogram. The threshold score of LDA was 4.0. C: control group; DM: antibiotic-associated diarrhoea group; NR: natural recovery group; L: low-dosage WQP group; M: medium-dosage WQP group; H: high-dosage WQP group.
