Genus composition of fecal samples from healthy individuals and chronic hepatitis C patients.
Fecal samples from healthy individuals (n=23,2sets) and chronic hepatitis C(CHC) patients diagnosed as persistently normal serum alanine aminotransferase (PNALT,n=18), chronic hepatitis
(CH, n=84),liver cirrhosis(LC,n=40),and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC,n=24)were grouped according with the clinical stage of CHC and ordered according with Streptococcus abundance
