Figure 3: Maternal antibiotic exposure at delivery drives the differences in neonatal oral microbiota.
From: Antibiotic treatment at delivery shapes the initial oral microbiome in neonates
(a) Principal component analysis (PCA) plot for infants exposed to maternal antibiotics (•) and non-exposed infants (▪). Significant differences were reported between both groups (R = 0.21, p = 0.02). (b) PCA plot indicates that samples cluster by exposure or non to intrapartum antimicrobials. The statistical significance of the observed clustering was further confirmed by canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) (p = 0.03). (c) Significant different taxa are shown as boxplots (25th and 75th percentile with a line in the median). Pair-wise comparison were done by t-test and annotated as *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
