Graphic summary of alpha-diversity indices. Comparison of Chao1, Shannon, and Simpson indices of (A) fecal microbiota, and (B) ileal mucosa-associated microbiota (MAM) between MAP-infected and control animals. Statistical analyses were conducted based on PROCMIXED procedure of SAS. The null hypotheses being tested was that the mean of diversity indices of the ileal MAM and the fecal microbiota of infected calves are similar to control group. P < 0.05 were considered significant. Trends were discussed at P < 0.1.
