FIG 5.

Similarities between breast milk and gut microbiomes, stratified by HIV status. Data were derived from paired analysis of Bray-Curtis similarity scores. The composition of infant gut and breast milk microbiomes at 6 weeks of life had equally little similarity in HEU and HUU mother-infant dyads, which was comparable to the compositions of maternal gut at delivery and breast milk at 6 weeks postpartum. There was equally high similarity between infant and maternal gut microbiomes at 6 weeks of life and delivery, respectively, in HEU and HUU mother-infant dyads.
