Fig. 6

Bar chart (a) depicts the effect of high-fat diet (3 weeks) and amoxicillin treatment on the relative abundance of the most represented bacterial taxa at the phylum level for each sample. The x coordinate represents the name of the groups. The y coordinate represents the relative abundance. HFD treatment for 3 weeks in mice showed a significant increase of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes (F/B) ratio and Proteobacteria. Amoxicillin treatment in HFD mice in the 3rd week caused a significant decrease in the Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes (F/B) ratio and Proteobacteria. The analysis of color heat map (b) illustrates the abundance of top 32 mean bacterial community taxa assigned to phyla. The color intensity in each sample is normalized to represent its relative ratio in the four groups. The color scale of dark red and dark blue represents the higher and lower relative abundances of bacterial communities, respectively. CD: Standard- chow diet for 3 weeks, CD + Amox: Standard- chow diet for 3 weeks and subjected to amoxicillin treatment in 3rd  week; HFD: High-fat diet for 3 weeks; HFD + Amox: High-fat diet for 3 weeks and subjected to amoxicillin treatment in 3rd  week
