NMDS of early and late onset NEC and controls at the genus level.

Abstract

<p>The difference between NEC and controls is displayed for early onset NEC (Fig. 2A) and late onset NEC (Fig. 2B) with their controls by NMDS plot. Each dot represents one sample. Green dots represent the controls and red dots represent the NEC samples. Early NEC subjects and control subjects have a clear separation at second week of the life. The distinction between late onset NEC and controls is less obvious except at the third week of life.</p
