Relative abundance (%) of total bacteria (16S rRNA) found at phylum level in fecal samples of neonates. Phyla with relative abundance < 0.1% in all samples were grouped together in “Others”. Box plots showed: a) total bacteria found at T0 (meconium) and T1 (1 month of age); b) total bacteria found in the meconium of neonates born via cesarean section (CS) or vaginal delivery (VD); c) total bacteria found in the meconium of neonates born to normal weight (BMI < 25 Kg/m2) or mothers with overweight or obesity (BMI ≥25 Kg/m2) and d) total bacteria found in T1 samples of neonates fed with formula (FF) or breastfeeding (BF).
