(a) The relative abundance of bacterial phyla among fecal samples from children with CF (left) and without CF (right). Samples are ordered for ease of display in decreasing abundance of Proteobacteria; relative abundance of E. coli is marked in each sample by a white dot. (b) A principal components analysis (PCA) of the taxonomic profile of each sample. The percent of variation explained by each of the first two components is noted on the axes and the top five loadings (scaled for ease of display) are illustrated. Evidently, the microbiota of CF fecal samples differ the most from non-CF samples at earlier source subject ages, driven largely by relative abundance of E. coli and Bifidobacterium longum.
