The composition and diversity of fecal microbiota in healthy subjects and patients with cirrhosis. A Stacked bar plots of phylogenetic composition of common bacterial taxa (> 0.1% abundance) at the phylum level and family level in fecal samples of healthy subjects and patients with cirrhosis. B Alpha diversity indices of fecal bacteria measured by Faith’s PD index and Shannon index. **** p < 0.0001, *** p < 0.001. C Principal coordinate analysis of fecal microbiota by unweighted Unifrac distance metrics and Bray–Curtis distance. Faith’s PD Faith’s phylogenetic diversity, NMDS non-metric multidimensional scaling
