Bacterial OTUs that differentiate eosinophilic vs other AECOPDs: Mean Decrease in Accuracy plot of the top 15 bacterial OTUs (a); Box plots of representative OTUs (b-g). AUCRF was performed to find bacteria that differentiate serum eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic in AECOPD patients. A: top 25 bacterial OTUs were listed based on Mean Decrease in Accuracy (MDA) from AUCRF; b-g: Box plots of relative abundance of representative OTUs, and the p values were calculated by using Wilcoxon test. AECOPD: acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease eosinophils subtype: blood eosinophils < 2% as non-eosinophilic (24 samples), blood eosinophils ≥2% as eosinophilic (9 samples)
