Confirmation of the temporal stability of the oropharyngeal microbiome in a 5-day follow-up study. Cluster analysis of DGGE profiles of oropharyngeal bacteria in groups HC (a), CC (a), and CI (b). Cluster analysis was performed using Dice’s coefficient and UPGMA. Lanes were designated by patient number (1, 2, 3, 4), and visit number (1, 2, 3, and 4).CIn-1, before antibiotic treatment; CIn-2, during antibiotic treatment; CIn-3 and -4, after antibiotic treatment. The diversity index of these follow-up samples is shown (c). *p < 0.01; **p < 0.001
