Figure 3From: Intensive antibiotic treatment of sows with parenteral crystalline ceftiofur and tulathromycin alters the composition of the nasal microbiota of their offspringAlpha and beta diversity analysis of the groups under study. Non-treated piglets born to ceftiofur + tulathromycin treated sows (CTsowNpiglet, red); ceftiofur treated piglets born to ceftiofur + tulathromycin treated sows (CTsowCpiglet, green); non-treated piglets born to ceftiofur treated sows (CsowNpiglet, blue). A Alpha diversity boxplots estimated with Chao1 and Shannon indexes. Each dot represents a sample. Dots corresponding to outlier simples are coloured in black. B Beta diversity PCoA analysis computed with Bray–Curtis dissimilarity index, of the groups under study. Each dot represents a sample. Ellipses of confidence are calculated using Euclidean distances within the samples of each group.Back to article page
