Microbiota variation among patients and over time. a Microbiota distance from baseline, as measured by Aitchison distance, vs. time. Time was measured in days relative to the baseline sample. The loess smoothed curve and its 95% confidence bar are shown. b Principal component analysis using Aitchison distance. Each point represents a sample, and points with the same color and shape represent samples from the same patient. Baseline samples are indicated by arrowheads. Numbers in parentheses indicate percent variation explained by the corresponding principal component. For two subjects (cases 1 and 2), non-baseline samples are connected to the baseline sample for the same patient. c Aitchison distance between samples collected from the same patient (“within”) vs. different patients (“between”). p value was calculated from a Wilcoxon test. d Distribution of taxa among the samples in the two cases (1 and 2) in b. Genera with relative abundances < 10% across all samples are grouped together. Baseline sample from each patient is shown on the left. The number above each non-baseline sample indicates its Aitchison distance from the corresponding baseline sample
