Effect of timing on patterns of community composition in CMT birds compared to PBS birds. Principle coordinate of Bray-Curits dissimilarity plots show distinct differences between the composition of CMT groups compared to PBS groups. At 7-dph (A) and prior to infection with ST4/74 the CMT groups cluster closely with the donor material whilst the PBS groups cluster closer together. From 3-dpi (B) shifts in the composition of the PBS-ST group but not the PBS group were observed. At 7-dpi (C) the PBS-ST groups had fully shifted to compositions similar to CMT groups and by 14-dpi (D) separation of the PBS group form the CMT and PBS-ST groups was most distinct
