Microbiome of LRE and non-LRE infants after the first week of life. (a) Shannon diversity of samples after the first week of life. (b) Comparison of bacterial community composition by Bray-Curtis distance between samples. The species with highest abundance in each sample is indicated by color. (c) Time course of the most abundant species in infant fecal samples after the first week of life. Stacked bars at each time point indicate the most abundant species in each sample. Curves connect samples from the same infant that were collected at consecutive time points.

Abbreviation: – LRE, low-risk for early-onset sepsis.
