Altered biodiversity and the major components of gut microbial communities in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients with or without latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). A The top 10 phyla in LTBI and non-LTBI groups are shown with their abundance. B The top 10 genera present in both LTBI and non-LTBI groups (254 genera; center panel), only in the non-LTBI group (84 genera; left panel), and only in the LTBI group (28 genera; right panel) are presented with their abundance. C The alpha-diversity, namely the richness of gut microbes, was determined by the observed amplicon sequence variants (ASVs), Shannon index, Pielou’s evenness index, and Faith’s phylogenetic diversity (PD). D Beta-diversity was determined by a principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) plot based on the weighted UniFrac distance. Each dot represents one sample from each group. The relevant p values were calculated using a Mann–Whitney U test
