Beta diversity analysis of the oropharyngeal microbiomes of non-azithromycin-treated samples, azithromycin-treated samples and washout samples. Legend: The Principal Coordinates Analysis plot using the phylogenetic-based unweighted UniFrac algorithm for the comparison of the oropharyngeal microbiomes of the azithromycin (AZ)-treated samples (green triangles) with those of the non-AZ-treated samples (blue squares) and those of the washout samples of the 8 AZ-treated patients (red dots). Green triangles: AZ-treated samples: V3 and V6 of the 8 AZ-treated subjects (n = 16). Blue squares: non-AZ-treated samples: all 20 samples of the 5 placebo-receiving subjects and V2 samples from the 8 AZ-treated subjects (n = 28). Red dots: washout samples of the AZ-treated patients: V7 of the 8 AZ-treated patients (n = 8). Each group of dots of the same patient is labeled with the patient number. Group color corresponds to non-treated patients (purple), AZ-treated patients (yellow)
