Proportional ratios of obligatory anaerobic vs. facultative anaerobic bacteria averaged (A) and at individual-level (B) in healthy Japanese infants (n = 19) at different time-points during the first 3 years of life. Proportions were calculated by using the original arithmetical number of the bacterial count and are expressed as the percent of the total fecal bacterial count. Obligates: Clostridium coccoides group, Clostridium leptum subgroup, Bacteroides fragilis group, Bifidobacterium, Atopobium cluster, Prevotella and Clostridium perfringens. Facultatives: Enterobacteriaceae, Enterococcus, Lactobacillus, and Staphylococcus. Age: 1 day, 7 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 3 years.
