Figure 2: Newborn’s oral microbiome composition, structure and differences in abundance of bacterial communities at family level.
From: Antibiotic treatment at delivery shapes the initial oral microbiome in neonates
(a) Relative abundances of bacterial families in the newborn’s oral microbiota. Infants oral microbiota was subdivided into 2 groups based on high similarity in taxonomy (group 1, n = 19) or less similarity (group 2, n = 17) to their corresponding maternal oral microbiota. (b) Principal component analysis (PCA) plot at family level for group 1 and group 2. Significant differences were reported between both groups (R = 0.52, p = 0.001). (c) Cladogram generated by LEfSe indicating differences in taxa between group 1 and group 2. Each successive circle represents a phylogenetic level (phylum, class, order, family, genus). Regions in red indicate taxa enriched in group 1 while regions in green indicate taxa enriched in group 2. Different taxa (at family and order level) are listed on the right side of the cladogram.
