Colonization of the adjacent intact intestine and subsections of the surgically isolated intestinal segment during the first 2 months of life. (A) Microbial profiling of intestinal samples collected from adjacent intact intestine (N) on day 1 (N1), 7 (N7) and 56 (N56) post-partum. (B) Microbial profiling of the surgically isolated intestinal segment (S) that remained isolated on days 1 (S1), 7 (S7), and 56 (S56) post-partum. (C) Microbial profiling of the isolated intestinal segment subsection that were reconnected to the adjacent small intestine on day 1 post-partum and then sampled on day 7 (S1R7) and 56 (S1R56) post-partum. A second subsection of the intestinal segment was reconnected to the adjacent small intestine on day 7 post-partum and then sampled on day 56 (S7R56) post-partum. Each bar represents a sample collected from an individual animal (92, 95, 97, 99, 101, 105) at the time points indicated.
