Engraftment-dependent HTGCs are maintained in the FMT recipient’s gut. Relative abundance (CPM) of HTGCs transferred from engrafted FMT donor strains to FMT recipient bacteria. Each point represents a distinct HTGC. Boxes represent the interquartile range (IQR) split by the median, with whiskers expanding up to 1.5 × the IQR. Abundance data was measured at 6-, 12-, and 26 weeks post-FMT and compared using linear mixed models (sex and timepoint fixed effects and recipient random effect). HTGC, horizontally transferred gene cluster; CPM, copies per million reads
