Impact of breastfeeding practices on breast milk microbiota. (A) Multivariate redundant discriminant analysis (RDA) at ASV level according to breastfeeding practices. (B) The relative abundance of bacteria present in breast milk at the genus level. (C,D) Microbial richness and diversity indexes at ASV. Richness and diversity values were adjusted for the total bacterial load. Whiskers represented 5–95 percentile intervals. *** p < 0.001. PC: principal components, EBF: Exclusive breastfeeding, MF: Mixed Feeding at one month.
