The association of the gut microbiome and host parameters. (A–C) Clinical features’ projection on all samples. The projection of continuous parameters in the healthy group and the preterm group samples, based on the Bray–Curtis distance metric, gestational weeks (A), Apgar score at 5 min (B) and Apgar score at 1 min (C), respectively. (D–J) Clinical features projection on preterm birth subgroups. The projection of continuous parameters in the preterm subgroup samples, based on the Bray–Curtis distance metric, BMI at delivery (D), CRP (E), age (F); Apgar score at 1 min (G) gestational weeks (H); Apgar score at 5 min (I) and neonatal weight (J), respectively.
