Figure S1. PCoA based on Bray-Curtis distances of genus-level relative abundance profiles of the samples sequenced in the present study using Illumina HiSeq and those from the study of Biagi et al. [7] sequenced by Roche 454 pyrosequencing. Figure S2. PCoA based on Bray-Curtis distances of genus-level relative abundance profiles of samples taken from patients aged 12 years, before, 12–28 days after, and > 30 days after HSCT. Figure S3. PCoA based on Bray-Curtis distances of genus-level relative abundance profiles of samples taken from patients hospitalized in the four centers before, 12–28 days after, and > 30 days after HSCT. Figure S4. Box and whiskers distribution of the relative abundance (%) of OTUs assigned to the genera Enterococcus, Citrobacter and Erwinia, in samples grouped as pre-HSCT, engraftment and post-HSCT, for the four enrollment centers. Figure S5. Box and whiskers distribution of the Simpson diversity index calculated for the genus-level microbiota profiles in samples taken before HSCT from subjects who did not develop aGvHD, who developed aGvHD (I-II grade) at a skin level, and who developed gastrointestinal aGvHD (II-IV grade). Figure S6. Box and whiskers distribution of the Bray-Curtis distances calculated using the genus-level gut microbiota profiles of samples taken before HSCT from subjects who did not develop aGvHD, who developed aGvHD (I-II grade) at a skin level, and who developed gastrointestinal aGvHD (II-IV grade). Figure S7. PCoA based on Bray-Curtis distances of genus-level relative abundance profiles of samples taken > 30 days after HSCT from patients who did not develop aGvHD, who developed aGvHD (I-II grade) at a skin level, and who developed gastrointestinal aGvHD (II-IV grade).
