Correlations between milk bacterial intakes and concentrations in infant stools

(A) Chord diagram displaying statistically significant relationships between cumulative 3-day milk bacterial intakes of commonly shared genera and their concentrations infant stools. The width of the linkage is proportional to the strength of the correlation. (B) Heatmap displaying spearman rank correlations between 3-day milk bacterial intakes and concentrations in infant stools for the entire cohort. ∗p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01; ∗∗∗p < 0.001. (C) Heatmaps showing the spearman rank correlations as described in (A) stratified by postnatal period. Black borders are used to highlight key findings across heatmaps.
