A Principal components analysis (PCA) score plots of microbiome in faecal matter of naïve mice (veh), and mice pre-treated with metronidazole (met), Ampicillin (amp), neomycin (neo), vancomycin (van), basil oil (BO) and the cocktail of antibiotics (VMAN). The points on the plot correspond to the microbiome profile of the mice in the respective groups. B Hierarchical clustering of multivariate analysis of variance from PCA matrix scores. The clustering identifies whether the microbiome compositions of the various pre-treated mice groups exhibit distinctive grouping or similar patterns
