The dynamics of C. difficile colonization and microbiome composition in infant samples. a The amount of GDH quantified by ELISA was used to indicate the relative abundance of C. difficile in infant fecal samples. Samples that tested positive for C. difficile toxins are indicated by black bars while samples that tested negative for toxins are indicated by open bars. C. difficile spore ribotype and spore count are presented for a subset of samples. The switch from mother’s milk to cow milk was indicated with the purple arrowed lines. Sample collection started on day 1 when the infant was 5.5 months old. b The microbiome composition of infant fecal samples are profiled at the phylum level. The microbiota samples are grouped by hierarchical clustering based on UniFrac distances. Samples collected before weaning and samples collected after weaning formed two distinct clusters
