Decreased abundance of Faecalibacterium genus in enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA) patients compared to controls. (A) The relative abundance of the top 20 taxa are shown. Although the taxa were evaluated at the genus level, some of the operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were only identified at the family level or above. Negative values (left) indicate higher frequency in controls, and positive values (right) indicate higher frequencies in patients. Statistically significant differences (Mann-Whitney U-test) are depicted in a darker gray color. (B) The distribution of F. prausnitzii levels is shown.
