Microencapsulated Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis ATCC 15697 Favorably Modulates Gut Microbiota and Reduces Circulating Endotoxins in F344 Rats
Figure 5
Correlations between the concentrations of fecal endotoxins and potential endotoxins-producing bacteria in F344 rats: (a) total Gram-negative bacteria, (b) family Enterobacteriaceae, (c) species Escherichia coli, (d) phylum Bacteroidetes, and (e) genus Bacteroides-Prevotella. F344 rats were gavaged daily with APA microencapsulated B. infantis ATCC 15697 or saline during 38 days (). Correlations were performed at endpoint (day 38) using Pearson’s correlation in the saline and APA microencapsulated B. infantis ATCC 15697 treatment groups. Indicates statistical significance of the correlation ().
