Figure 2. Association of meconium microbiota and the pregnancy-related anxiety.
[2A] Overall meconium microbiota dissimilarities presented by NMDS plots. The level of total pregnancy-related anxiety was defined as low (PRAQ-total score <6) or high (PRAQ-total score ≥6). P-value was obtained from PERMANOVA test using Bray-Curtis distance matrices as dependent variable and the continuous PRAQ-total score as independent variable. [2B] The inverse correlation between the level of total pregnancy-related anxiety and the relative abundance of Enterobacteriaceae genus. The linear fit line (blue) with 95% confidence interval (gray area) was taken from the linear regression model.
