Viral profiles of donors and recipients. a Bray-Curtis PCoA plot based on virome abundance demonstrating that post-FMT recipients cluster strongly with their donor. b Bray-Curtis PCoA plot based on 16S abundance data demonstrating the bacterial genus level group clustering of donors and recipients. P value and R2 values were generated with PERMANOVA as implemented in the Adonis function in the Vegan package in R. c Plot shows similarity of individual recipient viromes at each time to themselves at the first time point, i.e., to their CDI sample (pink line), to their donor (green line), or to other donors (blue line) over time. Donor virome similarity to their original donated sample was also investigated over the 12-month period (red line). The y-axis values represent Spearman’s rho, with the mean and 95% confidence interval plotted per time point. Statistical significance, as assessed by the nonparametric Wilcoxon rank sum test, between the recipient’s similarity to their donor and recipient similarity to themselves pre-FMT is indicated by asterisks. *P ≤ 0.05, **P ≤ 0.01, ***P ≤ 0.001
