FIGURE 2.
Alpha diversity dynamic of the gut microbiota based on 9 time points between infants born with vaginal delivery and born with cesarean section. (A) Chao1 index; (B) Shannon index; (C) the comparison of Chao1 index between VD and CS at 9 time points (Mann–Whitney U test, all p > 0.05); (D) the comparison of Shannon index between VD and CS at 9 time points (Mann–Whitney U test, all p > 0.05). The results were reported as median values (minimum–maximum). VD, vaginal delivery; CS, cesarean section.
