Results of Adonis analysis (total sample size (number of secretors), R2 and p value) of association of unweighted and weighted UniFrac distances with child secretor status, mother secretor status, mother secretor status—ABF (Any Breast-Feeding) subgroup, with the 2 formula-fed children excluded, and mother secretor status—EBF (Exclusively Breast-Fed) sub-group, containing only children who had been exclusively breast-fed for at least 4 months.
