Extended Data Fig. 1

PCoA was performed in MEGAN using the species-level taxonomic assignments of the preterm infant samples (n=9 biologically independent samples). Green arrows indicate the biplot loading vectors determined by MEGAN (the taxa with the largest influence in the plot). Samples were drawn from two groups: (i) healthy preterms (P106, P103 and P116) and (ii) preterms diagnosed with NEC or sepsis (P8, P49, P205 and P10). The PCoA plot indicates that distribution of samples from healthy preterms was distinct from samples belonging to infants diagnosed with suspected sepsis or NEC.
