Comparison of proportional ratio of obligatory anaerobic vs. facultative anaerobic bacteria (A), and relative proportions of different gut bacteria (B) in the meconium samples of vaginally- vs. cesarean-born infants. Proportions were calculated by using the original arithmetical number of the bacterial count and are expressed as the percent of numerical value of the total bacterial count. Obligates: Clostridium coccoides group, C. leptum subgroup, C. perfringens, Bacteroides fragilis group, and Bifidobacterium. Facultatives: Lactobacillus, Enterobacteriacea, Enterococcus, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus.
