Non-metric multidimensional scaling plots of 16S rRNA gene-based beta-diversity using the Bray-Curtis metric for bacteria in paired nasal and sputum samples across timepoints. Bacterial community dispersion was largely unchanged in nasal samples following treatment but was reduced in sputum samples. The confidence ellipses capture 95% of the relevant data points.
