Imputed metagenomic differences between subjects not on combination anti-retroviral therapy (cART(-)) and healthy control (HC) subjects. The relative abundance of metabolic pathways encoded in each imputed sample metagenome was analyzed by HIV infection status of each subject using box plots. From these box plots, clear differences are observed between the relative abundance of several imputed metagenomic functions between cART(-) subjects and HC. Significance of each comparison was determined using Kruskal-Wallis one way analysis of variance. Box plots of subjects on cART (cART (+)) are included to provide context for each comparison. Vertical black bars represent group averages. The x-axis represents the percent abundance of pathways for each imputed sample metagenome. Whiskers represent the interquartile ranges multiplied by 1.5; *q <0.25 relative to HC.
