Probiotics Partly Protect against Sugar-Mediated Loss of α-Diversity Intragroup comparison of α-diversity showed a significant loss of diversity from baseline to day 14 in the placebo group with the Shannon index ( p = 0.02), which was borderline significant with the Simpson index ( p = 0.06).

Yet, when comparing α-diversity between groups, this difference failed to reach significance using both the Simpson and Shannon indices ( p = 0.23, p = 0.2) ( Figure 2 A,B).
