Alterations in the gut microbiota of septic patients on Days 1 and 7 after ICU admission. a. Alpha diversity analysis based on the number of OTUs and ACE and Chao indices and beta diversity analysis based on the Shannon diversity index among the three groups. b. Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) using unweighted UniFrac distances showed significant differences in the microbiota compositions of the three groups. c. Mean proportions of phylum compositions in the three groups. d. Proportions of genera in 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
