Beta-diversity of cecal microbiota of Campylobacter-free and Campylobacter-inoculated female turkeys. Principal coordinate analysis ordination based on weighted UniFrac distance matrix depicts the similarity between bacterial communities illustrated by proximity between dots in the graph. Dots represent individual cecal samples from mock- (control), C. coli-, C. jejuni-, and co-inoculated female turkeys in three repeat experiments (EXP 1–3) at seven, 14, and 28 days post-inoculation, n = 18. In EXP 1 and 2, only samples from control and co-inoculated animals, in EXP 3, samples from all four groups were analyzed. Circles indicate clustering on experiments (EXP 1 = red, EXP 2 = blue, EXP 3 = green)
