Figure 5.

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) plot generated using the unweighted (based on the presence or absence of different taxa without regard to abundance) UniFrac distance metric. illustrating the phylogenetic relationship of microbial communities in all dogs at the 3 treatment periods (yellow = day 0; green = after 14 days of tylosin treatment; blue = day 28, 2 weeks after cessation of tylosin treatment). Tylosin associated samples (green, day 14) were separated from the non tylosin associated samples mostly along PCA axis 2 (accounting for 13.5% of all variability between samples), indicating that tylosin treatment had an effect on the microbial composition of the jejunal microbiota.
