Boxplots showing the log10 CFU of the bacterial pathogen Serratia marcescens strain KZ11 (modified for kanamycin resistance) per plated bee gut obtained from bees with conventional microbiota that were fed either pollen (POL) or an artificial diet (AD). Guts were plated 72 h after 14-day old adults were orally inoculated with 5 μL of OD600 = 1 bacterial suspension (n = 15 per group). *, p < 0.05, Mann-Whitney Wilcoxon.
