FMT changed the microbial community structures and compositions. A The sample distribution of the gut microbiome in the principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) plot at different time points. Different color represents different group (red: FMT-Lpr, blue: FMT-Mpj, green: FMT-PBS). T1, T2, and T3 respectively refer to the beginning, middle and end of the experiment. B Profiles of the major phylum with the relative abundance > 0.01 per group. C The Firmicute/Bacteroide ratio among the three groups. D Profiles of the relative abundances of the top 20 predominant taxa per group at the genus level. E Characteristic bacterial taxa for each group shown by LDA score > 2.0 at the genus level. F The relative abundances of the prevotella, alloprevotella, streptococcus, and bilophila among the three groups. *p < 0.05. **p < 0.001. FMT-Lpr, n = 11; FMT-Mpj, n = 10; FMT-PBS, n = 7
