Internal transcribed spacer sequencing to explore the intrinsic composition of fungal communities in fungal esophagitis

Figure 3 Taxonomic characteristics of esophageal fungi microflora in the esophageal normal control group, suspected fungal esophagitis group, and fungal esophagitis group. A: Relative abundance at the phylum level in three groups; B: Relative abundance at the genus level in three groups; C: Relative abundance at the genus level of the Kodsi subgroup in the suspected fungal esophagitis (NFE) and FE groups; D: Relative abundance of Candida genera and Yarrowia genera in three groups. Diverse letters specify statistically significant differences among groups. ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.001. NC: The esophageal normal control; NFE: Suspected fungal esophagitis; FE: Fungal esophagitis.
