A Study of the Infant Nasal Microbiome Development over the First Year of Life and in Relation to Their Primary Adult Caregivers Using <i>cpn60</i> Universal Target (UT) as a Phylogenetic Marker - Fig 2

<p><b>Relative abundance (A, B) and carriage (C, D) of potentially pathogenic bacteria (PPB) in the nares of infants and their primary caregivers over the first year of life.</b> Relative abundance depicted represents the average values derived from each subject grouping at each sampling time point T1-T5 (range: 22–35 subjects per time point, in a possible maximum of (<i>n</i> = 40) study subject pairs). Carriage depicted represents the percentage of individuals carrying the organism at each time point.
