Quyushengxin Formula Causes Differences in Bacterial and Phage Composition in Ulcerative Colitis Patients

Figure 1

Effects of QYSX on fecal virome diversity. (a) Principal component analysis (PCA) of virome in healthy donors and ulcerative colitis (UC) patients before and after QYSX treatment. (b) Box plot analysis of the distance among all the samples. (c) Virome diversity analyzed by gene index. (d) Virome diversity analyzed by Shannon index analysis. (e) Virome diversity analyzed by Simpson index analysis. Normal: healthy donors; UC: UC patients; UC + QYSX: UC patients after QYSX treatment. QYSX alters virome composition in patients.
