Although alpha and beta diversity were mainly similar between the two groups, significant differences were observed between the acromegaly group and the control group at the family and genus levels. These results suggest that the differences between the microbial communities in patients with acromegaly and those in healthy individuals consist primarily of compositional differences independent of abundance. Prospective studies are needed to further explore the clinical implications of gut microbiome dysbiosis in patients with acromegaly.
