Figure 3. Unweighted unifrac principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) of oral microbiota by time point and time point/ treatment group.
A. PCoA by sample time point. 1–2 days of life (n=28): white; 8–9 days of life (n=28): blue; 30 days of life (n=18): black. B. PCoA analysis by sample time point and treatment group. 1–2 days of life: white (n=14, no OCP), light grey (n=14, OCP); 8–9 days of life: light blue (n=14, no OCP), blue (n=14, OCP); 30 days of life: dark grey (n=11, no OCP), black (n=7, OCP). C. Bacterial taxa represented by group and time point. OCP-oral colostrum priming. Time points: 1 (1–2 days of life), 2 (8–9 days of life), 3 (30 days of life). Only the most relevant taxa are represented in the genus figure (bottom portion of C.).
