Figure 4. The number of shared phylotypes between individuals increases due to osmotic diarrhea.
The number of shared phylotypes (OTU distance = 0.03) between individuals increases during diarrhea in stools (left) but more pronouncedly in mucosa (right) samples (8.7–10.4% vs. 13.8–25.7%). The figure indicates the relative (%) phylotype (upper number) and sequence overlap (lower number) of stool (F) and mucosa (M) samples of individuals B, C and D at time-point 2 (top) and time-point 3 (bottom).
