θYC distances between bacterial communities of stool and swab samples. a Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) of θYC distances between bacterial communities of stool and swab samples. Samples are color-coded by subject. Shape indicates sample type: triangles = stool samples and circles = swab samples. b The θYC distances between swab and stool samples was significantly lower within subjects (median: 0.17, IQR: 0.10-0.27) than between subjects (median: 0.93, IQR: 0.85-0.97) (Wilcoxon test p-value: <0.0001)
