Microbial diversity parameters of patients with IBD do not change throughout pregnancy. Faecal samples from patients with IBD were collected at five time points: prepregnancy, first, second, third trimester and postpartum (27, 27, 21, 36 and 19 samples, respectively). (A and B) β-diversity using principal coordinate analysis of unweighted (A) and weighted (B) UniFrac distances. The black arrows point to samples of patients who used antibiotics. (C and D) α-Diversity using Faith’s phylogenetic diversity (C) and Pielou’s evenness plot (D) measurements. (E) Taxonomy plot at the phylum level.
