Fig. 1. Microbiomes of 50 mother infant dyads.

Overall, we found differences in the microbiomes based on the site of sample collection. (A) Principle coordinates analysis of unweighted UniFrac distances revealed that each sample type clustered into distinct groups. (B) α-diversity (Shannon index) was similar for all sample sites except for the vagina which was significantly less diverse than other sample sites (p=0.021). (C) Bacterial compositions across sample sites (mother: areolar skin, breast milk, vagina; infant: mouth, skin, stool) at the taxonomic level of family. (D) Heatmap representation of individual bacterial compositions at the family level. Families with an overall relative abundance of less than 0.5% are omitted for the sake of clarity.
