Distinct early gut microbiota patterns by delivery mode within 100 hours of birth

Figure 2 Differences in relative abundance of bacterial taxa in stool specimens of predominant breastfed neonates with different delivery modes and time of stool collection. A total of 140 samples were analyzed (cesarean section < 24 hours, n = 31; cesarean section 2448 hours, n = 18; cesarean section > 48 hours, n = 25; vaginal delivery < 24 hours, n = 23; vaginal delivery 24-48 hours, n = 30; vaginal delivery > 48 hours, n = 13). Relative abundance profiles are shown at: A: Phylum level; B: Genus level (top 10 genera); C: Species level (top 10 species).
