Microbial composition between maternal and infant body sites. (A) Beta diversity. Differences in overall microbial structure among sites were analyzed using PERMANOVA performed on Bray–Curtis dissimilarity distances. (B) Alpha diversity. Differences in Shannon diversity were analyzed using a Kruskal–Wallis test and are significantly different at ** p ≤ 0.001 and * p ≤ 0.01. (C) Bacterial phyla present in at least 20% of samples and at ≥0.1% mean relative abundance across samples within each body site. HM, human milk; SK, breast skin; ISa, infant saliva; MSa, maternal saliva; ISt, infant stool; MSt, maternal stool.
