Donor microbe strains in recipients post-FMT where the same donor was used for multiple FMT. The WSS scores were determined by comparing the donor’s sample to every available paired recipients’ sample. (A) a donor of 18 − 0014 was used to multiple recipients (19–0026, 19–0024, 19 − 0007, 18–0032) for FMT; and (B) donor of 18 − 0008 was used to multiple recipients (19 − 0010, 19 − 0009, 18–0034, 18–0033). Similar to Fig. 1, the number of pre- and post-FMT samples from each recipient is varied (see Table S1 for detailed sample information). The WSS scores per each donor-recipient pair were grouped into different color boxes (see the figure key). Major species observed in the fecal sample and common ones found in the two different data sets (Baruch et al. and Davar et al.) used in this study are included in this figure. The remaining species found in this data set are displayed in Fig. S3, and WSS scores from all pairwise comparisons are provided in Table S3. The white boxes indicate the microbial strains that we were unable to determine relatedness due to the any sample in pairs not satisfying the criteria of WSS analysis (minimum coverage > 30 % and average depth > 3.5)
