Comparison of the diversity of intramammary microbiota during the first week of lactation. Shannon’s indexes of diversity were compared among a bacterial and b fungal communities of intramammary secretions. Bacterial and fungal OTU tables were normalized to an even depth of 6000 and 5000 OTUs per sample, respectively, prior to calculation of diversity metrics. Mixed linear model (repeated measurement; proc. mixed SAS) was fitted with days in milk (DIM), BstYI variants, and their interaction as fixed factors and the effect of individual cows as a random factor nested within the BstYI variants. Error bars denote the 95% confidence intervals. For all tests, p values < 0.05 were considered significant. “ns” indicates p values > 0.05. Summary statistics for all comparisons are available in Additional file 2: Table S1
