Concentrations of bile acids in gallbladder bile samples. On the plot boxes, patients with O. felineus infection (infected) and patients without infection with O. felineus (noninfected) are represented. Whiskers’ length represents 1.5 of interquartile range. CA: cholic acid; CDCA: chenodeoxycholic acid; DCA: deoxycholic acid; UDCA: ursodeoxycholic acid; TCA: taurocholic acid; TCDCA: taurochenodeoxycholic acid; TLCA: taurolithocholic acid; GCA: glycocholic acid; GCDCA: glycochenodeoxycholic acid; GDCA: glycodeoxycholic acid.
