Bacterial communities undergo compositional changes in IBD recipients after FMT. (A) The Shannon index of gut microbiota was lower in IBD patients than in healthy controls, and was not significantly improved 3 days after FMT (P‐value > 0.01). Different groups are represented by different colored boxes. (B) The proportion of species gained from the donor in post‐FMT recipients lasts during follow‐up visits. However, the proportions varied among recipients, even those who shared a donor (labels with the same color). Gut microbiota composition per patient was divided into four parts: orange represented donor‐specific species, yellow represented species shared by donor and recipient, purple represented recipient‐specific species, and green represented newly gained species.
