Species diversity comparison between colonic biopsy and lavage sample. The extent of microbiota structural and composition diversities were measured using (a) Observed OTUs and (b) Chao (species richness), (c) Shannon-Weiner diversity index, (d) inverse Simpson’s evenness index and (e) Good’s coverage (species richness). Alpha diversity scores calculated by subsampling samples to 11000 reads with 1000 iterations. Each point represents the diversity score for a patient sample. Error bars represent SEM. Between-group variations were measured using Mann-Whitney U test. P values of Mann-Whitney U test for each alpha diversity measure are below the relevant facet
