Alpha diversity by sample host and site, and within patient samples (A) Total Taxa in Patients (B) Shannon Diversity in Patients (C) Faith’s Diversity in Patients (D) Total Taxa in Dogs and Environment, (E) Shannon Diversity in Dogs and Environment and (F) Faith’s Diversity in Dogs and Environment. Thin lines = within-subject changes, bold lines = aggregated group means, ** Kruskal–Wallis test p < 0.05 for median difference in change in alpha diversity level (post-pre) in control vs. intervention (in high-contact patients and dogs).
