KEGG pathways enriched in each of late pregnancy (LP) and postpartum (PO) stage and their correlations with differential bacterial species. Differential KEGG pathways between LP and PO stages at the level 2 (A) and level 3 (B) by LEfSe analysis. LDA, linear discriminant analysis. (C) Heatmap showing the correlations between differential KEGG pathways of gut microbiota and differential bacterial species. The stars indicate the significant threshold *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, and ****P < 0.0005 by Spearman’s rank correlation test.
