Fig. 4From: Perturbations of the ileal mycobiota by necrotic enteritis in broiler chickensDifferential enrichment of the ileal fungi between healthy and mildly infected chickens. Chickens were sequentially infected with E. maxima and C. perfringens to induce NE. Intestinal lesions in individual chickens were scored. LEfSe analysis was performed between healthy mock-infected control (score-0) and mildly infected (score-1) chickens to determine differential enrichment of fungi at the family (A), genus (B), and amplicon sequence variant (ASV) levels (C). The cut-off thresholds were set at P < 0.05 and LDA score > 2.0Back to article page
