Fig. 6From: Marine prebiotics mediate decolonization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from gut by inhibiting secreted virulence factor interactions with mucins and enriching Bacteroides populationBacterial diversity in the fecal microbiota of the study groups. A Shannon index of alpha diversity in the gut microbiota were compared among the study groups. B Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) 2D plots for beta diversity in the fecal microbiota of the study groups. The beta-diversity of microbiota was compared using the PCoA plot based on Bray–Curtis distance distances. Fucoidans treatment groups FV (Fucus vesiculosus) and AN (Ascophyllum nodusum). Controls were untreated water only (W) and uninfected negative controls (NC)Back to article page
