α-diversity is not significantly reduced in severe RSV infected patients compared to healthy controls. a Shannon Index of the gut microbiota shows no difference between healthy controls (n = 37) and infants with RSV disease (n = 58). b Chao1 Index of the gut microbiota shows no difference between healthy controls (n = 37) and infants with RSV disease (n = 58). c Shannon Index is slightly reduced in severe RSV disease (n = 5) compared to healthy controls (n = 37) or infants with moderate RSV disease (n = 53) but is not significant. d Chao1 Index shows no difference in severe RSV disease (n = 5) compared to healthy controls (n = 37) and infants with moderate RSV disease (n = 53). Each point represents an individual infant and the mean ± SEM
