Differences in diversity and composition of mucosa-associated colonic microbiota in colorectal cancer and non-colorectal cancer in Indonesia

Table 2 Comparison of gut microbiota composition based on phylum rank

Microbiota	Colorectal cancer, median (minimum-maximum) (n = 35)	Non-colorectal cancer, median (minimum-maximum) (n = 24)	P value	Adjusted P value
Firmicutes	38.4 (4.8-78.9)	42.1 (0.5-78.3)	0.84	0.83
Proteobacteria	21.5 (0.9-91.9)	21.1 (2.67-95.6)	0.46	0.90
Fusobacteria	4.03 (0-56.9)	0.06 (0-82.6)	0.09	0.43
Bacteroidetes	9.83 (0.2-36.9)	11.0 (0.67-33.1)	0.45	0.68

Adjusted P value: P value after adjustment for age and gender. The adjusted P value was calculated using a generalized linear model with gamma distribution and log link.
