Characteristics of blood, fecal, and uterine microbiota. a Relative abundance of the five major phyla in the blood, feces, and uterus. The bars represent the means and standard error of the mean, and the asterisks indicate the statistical significance between day 0 and day 2 (Wilcoxon test, *P ≤ 0.05 and **P < 0.01). b NMDS plot of Bray-Curtis dissimilarity between samples from the blood (red), feces (orange), and uterus (blue) on day 0 (filled circles) and day 2 (empty circles). Bray-Curtis dissimilarity was calculated using the phylum level abundance of bacteria. Groups by body habitats (blood, feces, and uterus) were significantly different by a PERMANOVA analysis on Bray-Curtis dissimilarity (P = 0.0001; stress = 0.13). c The overall average Bray-Curtis dissimilarity between body habitats by SIMPER analysis at the phylum level (see Additional file 3: Table S1 for details)
