Table 3

The quantity of fecal bacteria in PI-IBS and control mice.

Fecal bacteria	PI-IBS ()	CON ()	value
Prevotella species	5.87 ± 0.40	5.31 ± 0.34	<0.05
Bacteroides	9.20 ± 0.74	8.36 ± 0.25	>0.05
Bifidobacterium species	5.44 ± 0.59	5.36 ± 0.49	>0.05
Lactobacillus species	4.87 ± 0.35	5.23 ± 1.16	>0.05

Account unit is Log₁₀ copies/g fecal (). Asterisk indicates statistical significance ( versus CON). CON represents for normal mice.
