Translocation of probiotics to the mesenteric lymph node, spleen, liver, and blood in 5-FU-treated mice fed with or without Lcr35. Cultured bacteria were from plate colonies and identified by the genomic sequence. aE. coli str. K-12; E. coli O157:H7 str. Sakai; and E. coli UMN026 were identified. bEnterococcus dispar ATCC 51266 genomic scaffold; Enterococcus faecalis; and Enterococcus casseliflavus EC20 were identified.
