Box plots showing the relative abundance of the most dominant bacterial phyla and genera between preterm infants diagnosed with necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) and spontaneous intestinal perforation (SIP). Taxa > 0.05% minimum relative average abundance included. a) Phyla level analysis. Proteobacteria was significantly higher in NEC infants (P = 0.045) and Bacteroidetes was significantly higher in SIP infants (P = 0.024). b) Genera level analysis. No genus was significantly associated with NEC or SIP
