A Composite plot of individual trajectories of longitudinal diversity progression following antibiotic cessation (Group 2b) shown in thin grey lines, with weighted median trajectory (thick black line). For comparative purposes, trajectory of diversity progression in stable subjects (Group 1) overlaid (thick green line). 95% CI for weighted median trajectories denoted by dotted lines. For clarity and comparative purposes, the intercept of the two trajectories are both plotted at the median y-intercept of Group 2b. B Composite plot of individual trajectories of Enterobacteriaceae relative abundance progression following antibiotic cessation (Group 2b) shown in thin grey lines, with weighted mean trajectory (thick black line). For comparative purposes, trajectory of Enterobacteriaceae relative abundance progression in stable subjects (Group 1) overlaid (thick green line). 95% CI for weighted mean trajectories denoted by dotted lines. For clarity and comparative purposes, the intercept of the two trajectories are both plotted at the median y-intercept of Group 2b. C Longitudinal taxonomic profiles of the majority taxa in babies during periods after cessation of intravenous antibiotics. Days off antibiotics is indicated on the x-axis
