Gut microbiota contributes to the distinction between two traditional Chinese medicine syndromes of ulcerative colitis

Figure 3 Differential taxa between Pi-Xu-Shi-Yun syndrome and Da-Chang-Shi-Re syndrome cohorts at the genus and species levels. A: Differential genera; B: Differential species. Lachnoclostridium is more abundant in Pi-Xu-Shi-Yun (PXSY) syndrome. Lachnoclostridium is more abundant in PXSY syndrome than in the shire group and healthy controls; the species of Lachnoclostridium named Clostridium citroniae also showed the same tendency. Streptococcus was more abundant in Da-Chang-Shi-Re patients than in PXSY and healthy controls. Relative abundance values are the mean ± SE (adjusted ^aP < 0.05; adjusted ^bP < 0.01; adjusted ^cP < 0.001). HC: Healthy controls; DCSR: Da-Chang-Shi-Re syndrome; PXSY: Pi-Xu-Shi-Yun syndrome.
