Since fold change and Δ calculations require valid measurements for each included individual at all three time points, the number of individuals (n) was different for each bacterial target. R designates the Spearman correlation coefficient. Only bacterial taxa with P values below 0.05 (*) are included in the table. NS, not significant (P > 0.05).
