Figure 3. Antibiotics and delivery mode alter maturation of microbial communities over the first week after birth.

Figure 3.

SourceTracker2 analysis showing proportion of LP and VLBW infant microbial communities attributed to adult or full term (FT) infant microbiomes based on 11 public studies in Qiita and a cohort of 87 FT infants not exposed to antibiotics aged 0.5-4 months (Methods). Lines represent the mean (+/− SEM) proportion of the microbial profile attributed to a specific source for all samples from preterm infants within each cohort displayed by birth-mode (rows) and body site (column). a) Preterm infant samples not exposed to antibiotics. b) Preterm infant samples after exposure to antibiotics. Refer to Extended Data Table 3 for sample sizes of the lP and VLBW infants at each time point.
