Effect of patient occupancy on the bacterial colonization patterns. A PCoA of the beta-diversity depicting the weighted UniFrac distances between environmental and patient samples. B Heatmap showing the similarity scores between sample pairs after establishment of the environmental microbiome (final 6 weeks). C Comparative analysis of the pairwise weighted UniFrac distances between patients in single-rooms and the environmental sites from either the own occupied room or the other rooms analyzed in the study (mean distance to all rooms). Each dot represents the distance between a patient site and an environmental site in a specific week. (*p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001, paired t test)
