Stability of the nasal microbiota of piglets from farm MT through three different sampling time-points. (A) Alpha diversity using Shannon diversity index over rarefied samples is compared before perinatal antibiotic elimination (MT1) and after 1 (MT2) or 5 productive cycles (MT3). (B) Beta diversity analysis (jackknified principal component analysis) of the nasal microbiota composition among samples collected before (MT1) and after 1 (MT2) or 5 productive cycles (MT3) antimicrobial treatment removal. The two principal axis are shown with the percentage of variation explained between brackets. (C) The mean relative abundance (%) at genera level for farm MT after 5 productive cycles without using perinatal antibiotic treatment. Color-coding for each representative OTU are the same that in Fig. 1.
