Distribution of phylogentic groups shift following vancomycin administration. Classification of partial 16S rRNA-encoding gene sequences obtained from the cecal contents and cecal mucosa from mice treated with vancomycin (vancomycin) and vancomycin followed by a three-week recovery period without antibiotic (recovered). Comparisons were made to the communities detected in untreated mice (control). Sequences were analyzed and classified to the level of phylum (outer ring) and family (inner pie chart) using the RDP Classifier.²¹
