Fig. 3

Panel a depicts the flow cytometry-based bacterial counts and absolute abundance-based taxonomic profiles obtained by cultivating five infant fecal samples in four different culture media as well as in IGSM. Panel b reports the number of bacterial species showing a 10-fold increase in bacterial enumeration higher (light blue) or lower (green) than the inoculum bacterial count. All data are expressed as average of the two obtained replicates per each condition.
