Comparison of potential biomarkers present in feces of infants as quantified by HOPE.

̂ Frequency of occurrence denotes the percentage number of infants who were detected with the bacterial target in their stools.
*Average abundance is obtained by summing up abundances of bacterial target in all individuals of that particular health group, and the total sum divided by the number of individuals.
#Ratio of abundances is expressed by dividing average abundance of bacterial target in non-eczema group against the eczema-group.
×Underlined P-values indicate significant difference at 95% confidence level.
