Table 3 Mean alpha-diversity indices and mean relative proportions of dominant phyla and genera (> 1%) in decreasing order of abundance for ALL samples and across three asthma phenotypic clusters (APC1, APC2, and APC3) in pediatric asthma
From: Pediatric asthma comprises different phenotypic clusters with unique nasal microbiotas
