From: Acute changes in the colonic microbiota are associated with large intestinal forms of surgical colic
Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) of faecal microbiota in all samples collected from case and control horses. The plots show PCoA of (a) a Weighted-UniFrac and (b) a Bray–Curtis dissimilarity metrics calculated from samples collected from orthopaedic control horses and PCoA of (c) a Weighted-UniFrac and (d) a Bray–Curtis dissimilarity metrics calculated from samples collected from the surgical colic patients. Time points were grouped as T0 (admission samples) (T0), T1–T3 (within hospital samples), T4–T7 (during the first month post hospital discharge) and T8–T11 (during the 2nd and 3rd month post hospital discharge)
