Fig. 3From: Household environment and animal fecal contamination are critical modifiers of the gut microbiome and resistome in young children from rural NicaraguaSignificance of household environment and survey factors in gut microbiome diversity. The significance of the factors tested amongst the α diversity indices of Shannon index and Pielou’s evenness in children and infants. Significance was assessed via p value, with values differentiated by color. Significant values (p < 0.05) are shown with the darkest red. The direction of the trend is identified in the factor label (y-axis). For correlation tests of continuous variables, the direction of the significant association is indicated with a + or -. For categorical data, the group with significantly greater diversity is underlinedBack to article page
