Associations between clinical measures and composition and diversity of the intestinal microbiota.

We considered associations between 17 different clinical and psychiatric measures from our human cohort (column B) and 232 bacterial taxa (12 phyla, 19 classes, 22 orders, 46 families, and 133 genera) (column A) present in at least 25% of our samples, as well as the Shannon diversity index. We evaluated 3,944 hypotheses [17 measures * (232 taxa + 5 Shannon diversity metrics)] using the non-parametric Kendall’s tau-b test for association (column D), and there were no associations that met established significance thresholds (column C), even after FDR correction (column E).
