Composition of bacterial pools for inoculation and gut colonization in GF mice.

(a) Schematic study design to determine the effect of bacterial inoculation on liver fibrosis prevention in vivo. (b) Relative abundances of the eight bacterial strains in inoculum used to treat mice on days 0 (I1), 5 (I2), and 10 (I3). (c) Relative abundances of the eight bacterial strains in the stool of GF-MCD-B mice collected at days 14 and 28 after three inoculations. Total absence of bacterial strains was confirmed at d0, prior to any inoculation (not shown). For each mouse, heatmaps show the relative abundance of each bacterial strain over time.
