FIGURE 3.
Complete time series analysis highlights a significant and temporally maintained deficiency in butyrate-producing Clostridiales among infants exposed to antibiotics. (A) Results plot generated by the permuspliner test, showing enriched abundance of Clostridium groups IV and XIV in infants not exposed to antibiotics (Abx–, red line). (B) Corresponding distance plot output, showing that the observed difference between the groups exceeds the random permuted distribution 997/1000 times, which supports the statistically significant finding (p = 0.003).
