Bacterial Diversity in Meconium of Preterm Neonates and Evolution of Their Fecal Microbiota during the First Month of Life (original) (raw)
Figure 2
Cultivable bacteria in meconium and fecal samples analyzed in this study.
Frequency of occurrence is the percentage of samples in which a particular bacterial genus was detected at each sampling time (meconium, 1st week, 2nd week and 3rd week feces). The total number of weekly samples analyzed is indicated under each sampling time. Results of the Fisher exact probability test (Freeman-Halton extension for a 2×4 contingency table) are shown by asterisks. * = P<0.05; ** = P<0.01; *** = P<0.001.
