Fig 1 Relative abundance of dominant bacterial phyla in stool samples in each subject at 1 week (A) and 1 (B) and 12 (C) months of age in 20 infants with atopic eczema and 20 infants without any allergic manifestations.

Fig E1 Pairwise community differences. Distributions of Unifrac distance levels at 1 week, 1 month, and 12 months for all 40 infants, regardless of atopy status. The decrease in Unifrac levels indicated that the microbial communities became more uniform across subjects over time. The differences in Unifrac values were analyzed with the Wilcoxon paired test.
