From: Oral iron supplementation after antibiotic exposure induces a deleterious recovery of the gut microbiota

Fig. 2

Recovery of gut microbiota composition is incomplete at T80 and affected by luminal iron concentration. A Chao1 and B Shannon measurements of alpha-diversity. Ribbons represent the standard error of the mean (SEM). C-F Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) of weighted UniFrac distance matrix. N = 18 mice per group for antibiotic exposure and N = 9 mice per group for iron diets. Differences were assessed by Welch t-test (A, B) and Adonis (C-F). * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.0001, comparison between T0 and T7 (N = 18), T14, T21 and T80 (N = 9)
