The effect of prior FMT on the jejunal microbiome compositional patterns and diversity of ETEC-infected weanling piglets. A Heatmap illustrating the core microbiome composition of ETEC-infected piglets. B Heatmap illustrating the core microbiome composition of ETEC-infected piglets that received prior FMT treatment. C Boxplot illustrating the Shannon index of alpha diversity within jejunal microbial communities of ETEC-infected control piglets (EC) and ETEC-infected piglets that received prior FMT treatment (FMT-EC). D Principal component analysis (PCoA) scatter plot demonstrating beta diversity among the jejunal microbiota of EC and FMT + EC groups. E Phylogenetic tree abundance map of microbial communities depicting comparative genetic diversity and the population density of the microbial genera in EC and FMT + EC groups. F Heat tree depicting the hierarchical taxonomical distribution and relative abundance of significantly different microbial genera in EC and FMT + EC groups; G Correlation between the abundance of various bacterial genera in EC and FMT + EC groups and the genus Pseudoscardovia in the jejunum
