a-c Principle Coordinate Analysis (PCoA) reveals the time-dependent shift of metagenome profiles after oral treatment with Ampicillin (a), Ciprofloxacin (b), or Fosfomycin (c). For each antibiotic cohort, the bacteria genera identified from each sample (solid dots) were subject to PCoA and the first and second principle coordinates are shown as X and Y axis, respectively. Within all three cohorts, there was a general trend in the way samples grouped together. Control samples grouped together and away from treated samples (24, 48, 72 h) indicating a change in genus profiles after treatment. The only exception being ampicillin where two of the 24 h samples grouped with controls
