Figure 6 Differences of gut microbiome function of preterm infants delivered by cesarean section in the 4 groups at 10 days. (A) Difference between N-day10 and A-day10 groups. (B) Difference between N-day10 and P-day10 groups. (C) Difference between A-day10 and AP-day10 groups. N – the N group (No-probiotics and No-antibiotics); A – the A group (antibiotics); P – the P group (probiotics); AP – the AP group (antibiotics+probiotics). Day10 – Ten days after birth. P<0.05 means significant differences.
