Moxifloxacin Induced Liver Injury by Causing Lachnospiraceae Deficiency and Interfering with Butyric Acid Production through Gut–Liver Axis

Figure 6

Community structure and α–diversity of the gut microbiota following moxifloxacin administration in rats. (a) Fifteen most abundant bacteria at the phylum level. (b) Comparison of the α–diversity of the gut microbiota between different groups using diversity index box plots. The abscissa represents groups, with different groups distinguished by different colors, and the ordinate represents index values. L: low dose; M: middle dose; H: high dose; and Q: before administration. The number represents the day of collection (3, 7, 14, and 21 days of treatment).
