P – Penicillin, G – Gentamicin, F- Fluctoxacillin, A - Amoxicillin, M – Metronidazole, s –Start of antibiotics, e – End of antibiotics, 72hr – full enteral feed (at least 150 ml/kg/day) sustained for 72 hours. a) Shannon Diversity indices (H') of twin pair based on DGGE data b) Turnover of the most prevalent bacterial OTUs throughout the first 36 days of life in twin 139 where antibiotics were prescribed for NEC. c) Turnover of most prevalent bacterial OTUs throughout the first 34 days of life in twin 140 where antibiotics were prescribed due to pyrexia (fever).
