Clostridium butyricum Combined with Bifidobacterium infantis Probiotic Mixture Restores Fecal Microbiota and Attenuates Systemic Inflammation in Mice with Antibiotic-Associated Diarrhea

Figure 2

Bacterial loads in fecal microbiota as measured by qPCR (log₁₀ copies/g fresh feces). The total bacteria were detected in the short-term and long-term treatment, while other predominant fecal microbiota were only detected in long-term treatment. Graph values are reported as the mean and standard deviation of the mean. Comparisons among the groups were calculated with Student’s -tests. was labeled; compared with healthy control; # compared with AAD mice model; & compared with saline control; compared with C. butyricum treated group; compared with B. infantis treated group.
