Non-metric multi-dimensional scaling (nMDS) plot showing paired-sample changes to microbiota composition following 7–12 days of chemotherapy (Post-1). Each colour represents an individual participant, with the pre-chemo sample (outline, lighter shade) linked to the post-chemotherapy sample (no outline, solid shade) by a line. Samples are shown to cluster by participant rather than by sampling time point, with no significant difference between the pre-chemo and post-1 groups PERMANOVA; p = 0.99
