Additional file 5: Figure S5. of Upper and lower respiratory tract microbiota in horses: bacterial communities associated with health and mild asthma (inflammatory airway disease) and effects of dexamethasone
Alpha diversity measures (Chao1 and Shannon) of dexamethasone treatment (10 days) effect (Pre: day 0; green bars and Post: day 11; purple bars) in both upper respiratory tract and lower respiratory tract samples. There was no significant decrease in the evenness in the lower airways of both healthy (Normal) and Inflammatory Airway Disease (IAD) horses after p-value adjustment for multiple comparisons (p = 0.071, Wilcoxon test).
