human gut microbiota with disease and drug resistance

Based on 16s sequencing analysis with human fecels sample, how to find out the relate with disease risk and drug resistance? How to calculate the value?

First, your question does not contain detailed information. In addition, I think disease risk and drug resistance cannot be inferred from 16s only. I assume that you mean 16s rRNA.

I have received a clinical report from one genetic testing company, based on my fecel sample. In this report, I got some result such as gut conditions, lifestyle and diet, diseases risk, like type 2 diabetes and drugs resistance situation. Each part of them I can see a reference value range and my value. Thus, my fundamental puzzle is how they get those reference values?
