Metagenomic analysis on DNA isolated from viruses extracted from murine faecal samples in Study 1 (a) and Study 2 (b). Results reflect the viromes of groups of mice, where faecal samples were combined and represent the viral pool in pre-treatment (n = 16), antibiotic-treated (n = 16), Control (n = 8) and FVT mice (n = 8) at each timepoint. Following sequencing contigs were assembled into putative viruses and the relative abundances are represented within this bar plot. Certain contigs of interest have been highlighted; those in black text are found in abundance in pre-antibiotic treatment mice and in greater abundance in FVT mice than in Control mice. Those highlighted in red text are in greater abundance in post-antibiotic treated mice and in greater abundance in Control mice than FVT mice
