1Differential taxa abundance at phylum, family, and genus levels was determined by fitZIG mixture modeling during early infancy (average of 6, 11, and 15 wk; n = 67) and at 2 y of age (n = 64). Taxa with a P value <0.05 or the lowest one were selected for this table. Early-infancy microbiota data were adjusted for type of delivery and breastfeeding status. Microbiota data at 2 y were additionally adjusted for age group at 2 y (older and younger). False discovery rate–adjusted P value (adjusted P) was calculated by the Benjamin-Hochberg method.
