a Cladogram and b LDA bar plot based on LEfSe analysis showing the taxa with significant differences between the asymptomatic and symptomatic groups for all the taxonomically assigned ASVs. Taxonomic hierarchies were arranged from the inside (lower taxonomic level) to the outside (higher taxonomic level). Red and green nodes in the phylogenetic tree represent differentially abundant taxa in the two groups. Yellow nodes represent taxa with no significant difference. In the bar plot, the horizontal bars represent the effect size for each taxon. The length of the bar represents the LDA score. Taxa with significant differences for ASVs with an LDA score [log10] > 2; p-value < 0.05, FD adjusted. Letters in front of taxa represent taxonomic level (p = phylum, c = class, o = order, f = family)
