Correlation between invasive microbiota in margin-surrounding mucosa and anastomotic healing in patients with colorectal cancer

Figure 2 Correlation of intestinal microbiota with anastomotic healing. Relative abundance of six species (Alistipes shahii, Dialister pneumosintes, Corynebacterium suicordis, Porphyromonas asaccharolytica, Vibrio diazotrophicus, and Clostridium leptum) was significantly changed between the impaired-healing group and well-healing group. The significance was assessed by Wilcoxon test, ^aP < 0.05.
