Similarity of microbial community composition among children over the 1st year of life converged. Using the first dimension of a non-metric Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) based on total microbial community composition, the distance to the centroid was plotted against time and analyzed using a linear mixed effects model (p < 0.003).
