Changes in relative abundance of phyla by week for infants with samples collected in weeks 1, 2, and 3. Each set of three bars represents samples from a single infant with samples from week 1, then week 2, and finally week 3 going from left to right. Samples are grouped by hospital and dominant phyla (>50% of reads) in week 1. The other category also contains an infant who had no single phyla accounting for >50% of the reads. Infants from Birmingham had significantly more similar stool samples from week to week compared to infants from Cincinnati as measured by Jaccard distance calculated at the OTU level and tested by Kruskal-Wallis (p < 0.01).
