Fecal microbiota qPCR results by feeding group for a Clostridioides difficile, b Clostridium perfringens, c Klebsiella pneumoniae at baseline (≤ 14 days of age), 1, 2, and 3 months of age. Values are means of 104 copies/mg fecal dry weight with SE as whiskers. Feeding groups were compared using log-transformed data in a Mixed Model Repeated Measures adjusted for baseline values, sex, mode of delivery, antibiotic use, study center, and visit. BF, breastfed group; CG, control group; EG, experimental group. # = p < 0.05 for EG compared to CG. * = p < 0.05 for CG compared to BF. ^ = p < 0.05 for EG compared to BF. Sample size at each timepoint was: 38–61 in CG, 47–70 in EG and 17–22 in BF for Clostridioides difficile; 64–74 in CG, 71–92 in EG and 23–26 in BF for Clostridium perfringens; 65–68 in CG, 72–84 in EG and 21–24 in BF for Klebsiella pneumoniae
