Correlations of fecal microbiota, iron, ROS and calprotectin, before and after introduction of complementary foods (CFs). a Spearman correlation matrix of dominant taxa (phyla and families with median relative abundance >0%) with fecal iron, ROS and calprotectin. b Correlation of microbiota richness and ROS, before CF: r = 0.51, p = 0.0001; after CF: r = 0.15, p = 0.29. c Correlation of Coriobacteriaceae and ROS, before CF: r = 0.39, p = 0.005; after CF: r = 0.46, p = 0.001. d Correlation of Staphylococcaceae and calprotectin, before CF: r = -0.54, p = 0.001; after CF: r = -0.59, p = 0.0003
