  1. Only genera that were significantly different between groups (P-values printed in bold) are shown. No significant differences were noted on days 42 and 49 p.i. C: control; df: degrees of freedom; FDR: false discovery rate; p.i.: post-infection; TI: trickle infection; SD: standard deviation; SI: single infection
