Alterations in the gut microbiota between septic and non-septic ICU patients on day 1 after ICU admission. a. Alpha diversity analysis based on number of OTUs and ACE and Chao indices and beta diversity analysis based on the Shannon diversity index among the three groups. b. Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) using unweighted UniFrac distances showed significant differences in the microbiota composition of the three groups. c. Mean proportions of phylum compositions in the three groups. d. Proportions of genera of the three groups. *indicates comparisons with healthy controls, # indicates comparisons with septic patients on Day 1. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, and #P < 0.05
