Extended Data Fig. 3: Correlation of microbiota with mode of delivery.
From: Bacterial colonization reprograms the neonatal gut metabolome
a, The mode of delivery was not associated with differences in the number of bacterial species per sample at birth or 1 month (two-sided Mann-Whitney test). b, The mode of delivery had a small effect on the composition of bacteria present at 1 month, as measured by Jaccard distance (R2 = 0.02, PERMANOVA test), but no effect at birth. c, Several taxa differed in prevalence according to mode of delivery at 1 month, but were not statistically significant after correction for multiple comparisons (two-sided Fisher’s exact test). No taxa differed in abundance at either time point (two-sided Mann-Whitney test). d, KEGG gene orthologs associated with mode of delivery in 1 month samples (two-sided Mann-Whitney test, P < 0.05 after correction for false discovery rate). Points with error bars in (d) indicate the median and interquartile range. Boxes in (a) and (c) indicate the median and interquartile distance, whiskers indicate maximum and minimum data points within 1.5 times the interquartile range, points represent values outside this range. Sample size in all tests was n1 = 64 vaginal birth, n2 = 24 c-section.
