Alterations in the composition of gut microbiota in the presence of C. difficile. a Alterations in the microbial richness and diversity in CDN patients (n = 16) at the start of EN and 2 weeks after receiving EN. b Changes in microbial diversity of C. difficile-positive patients from C. difficile negative to positive (left) or C. difficile positive to negative (right). Statistical significance in a and b was determined using paired t tests. c, d Intestinal microbiota dynamics in P60 and P156. Changes in microbial composition at the family level are illustrated on the above axis, corresponding to the alterations in the C. difficile load (right) and microbial diversity (left) on the same timeline shown below
