ATT induces temporal changes in the community structure of the intestinal flora. a Principal coordinate (PC) values along the second ordinate of unweighted (top) and weighted (bottom) UniFrac analyses shown in Fig. 2b for each sample of the three animals groups are plotted. The x-axes indicate the sample collection time points and the y-axes indicate the PC values. The dotted lines represent the linear regression analysis trends. Error bars indicate mean ± SEM. b Relative abundances from W4 to W20 of select bacterial families for the three animal groups are plotted. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01 (Wilcoxon rank-sum test). Error bars indicate mean ± SEM. n = 4–5 except TB group W20 time point where n = 3
