Prevotella copri carriage abrogates the protective effects of recent dietary fiber intake on C-reactive protein. Multivariate linear mixed models of log-transformed CRP were fit including recent fiber intake and P. copri carriage (binary), their interaction, accounting for participant membership as a random effect, and adjusting for age, recent antibiotic use, and total calorie intake. We excluded 137 samples with CRP values below or above the detection limits, and thus, 788 samples from 277 participants were included in this analysis. The relationship between dietary fiber and plasma CRP was significantly stronger among participants who did not carry P. copri (0 abundance)
