Beta diversity indices. A Non-metric multidimensional scaling of Bray–Curtis distances between fecal samples based on microbial abundances. The stress associated with this ordination was 0.091. Points are colored by litters to which the samples belonged, and shape of each point indicates the age of pigs in weeks. L0 included uninoculated control piglets. Litters 1–5 included all M. hyopneumoniae experimentally inoculated piglets. B Each dashed ellipse represents the 95% confidence interval for the centroid of each litter as calculated by ordiellipse. At week 3, centroids were significantly separated among L2 (blue), L3 (red) and L5 (gray) litters. Piglets from L3 and L5 showed the least LS, whereas those from L2 and L4 showed the highest LS.
