a Principal coordinates (PC) analysis on Pearson correlation distances of log-transformed relative abundances of microbial genera. Circle colour represents community type: C1: 2033 (green), C2: 1016 (blue), C3: 1100 (orange), and C4: 1932 (red). Histograms show distribution by community type for corresponding PC. b Average genus-level microbiota composition by community type (“C”) in infants. Unallocated percentages are due to additional genera not shown. c Microbial richness (number of species). Significance of the difference to C1 is indicated by the asterisks:***p < 0.001; **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05. All p-values < 2.26e-16. d Relative abundance of pathobionts by community type. Significance of the difference to C1 is indicated by the asterisks: ***p < 0.001; **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05 (p < 2.26e-16 (C1-C2), p = 0.023(C1-C3), p < 2.2e-16 (C1-C4)). Box plots show the median as centre line and interquantile range, and whiskers show the minimum and maximum quantile range Comparisions for (c, d) were done using a two-sided Wilcox rank sum test, and no adjustments were made for multiple testing.
