Similarity Euclidean distance between two recipients preprocessed ASVs (order-level) vectors in the human-to-human cohorts (ABX vs no ABX). In each pair, the rightmost bar represents the distances between samples of different recipients that got FMT from the same donor , SDDR (measures the effect of the recipient background), and the leftmost bar represents the distances between samples of different recipients that received FMT from different donors, DDDR (measures the effect of the donor), with a significant hierarchy of distances. The lowest distances are within the same donor/recipient, followed by the same donor, followed by different donors (* p<0.05 , ** p<0.01 , *** p<0.001 ).
