Relationship between females reproductive status and significantly expressed bacteria taxa recovered by the corncob analysis. A The skin of mothers (Att) and non mothers (NAtt) harbor bacteria communities with a pattern of expression that differ in its direction (above average or bellow average) and magnitude. Bacteria genus Staphylococcus is one of the main driver of this difference. B The gut of mothers and non mothers show a similar decoupling of bacteria that are selectively expressed whereby bacteria genera Dorea and Eggerthella are highly expressed in mothers whereas the genus Desulfovibrio has a dicreased expression in non mothers
