Fig. 1
Calculation of alpha diversity values. (A) Chao1 index; (B) Simpson index; and (C) Faith's phylogenetic diversity index. Calculation of beta diversity values. (D) Bray–Curtis distance; (E) weighted UniFrac distance. Red dots indicate NTM and blue dots indicate bronchiectasis. Fig. (F) and (G) shows the taxa bar plots of patients with NTM-LD (F) and bronchiectasis (G). Fig. (H) shows a heat map of the relative abundance of the major bacteria in both groups of patients.
