From: Initial meconium microbiome in Chinese neonates delivered naturally or by cesarean section
Correlation of the predominant microbiomes under different modes of delivery. (A) Heat map analysis generated with LEfSe showing the taxonomic strains with significantly different abundance in C-section and vaginally delivered neonates. The dendrogram of pathway abundance is colored red to indicate a negative LDA score and green to indicate a positive LDA score. Over/underrepresentation is depicted by a color gradient. (B,C) Correlations were expressed by Spearman’s correlation coefficients. Only the first 30 abundant species were analyzed. Network analysis of C-section-delivered infant meconium microbes (B) and vaginally delivered infant meconium microbes (C). Nodes indicate taxonomic affiliations at the species level. Red lines indicate negative correlations; gray lines indicate positive correlations. The line thickness represents the correlation strength. The size of a node is determined by the thickness of all lines on the node.
