Figure 4: Differences in abundance of bacterial communities at family level as assessed by LEfSe.

(A) Bacterial taxa that were differentially abundant in placenta and meconium samples visualised using a cladogram generated from LEfSe analysis. (B) Differences in key OTUs identified as differentiating between placenta and meconium samples. (C) Bacterial taxa that were differentially abundant in placenta and colostrum samples visualized using a cladogram generated from LEfSe analysis. (D) Differences in key OTUs identified as differentiating between placenta and colostrum samples.
