Fig. 2From: Early-life prophylactic antibiotic treatment disturbs the stability of the gut microbiota and increases susceptibility to H9N2 AIV in chicksMicrobial genera and the functions of the gut microbiota in chickens in the long-term antibiotic treatment trial. A Dot plots showing the differentially abundant genera, determined by LEfSe, between the seven sampling time points for each group (P < 0.05, LDA score > 2). B Heat maps of microbial metabolic pathways at 4 dph, 25 dph, and 11 dpi. C Numbers of significantly different microbial metabolic pathways, determined by DESeq2 package, in each group between the seven time points (adjusted P < 0.05, FoldChange > 2). SigPath Num means the number of pathways with significant differenceBack to article page
