Table 2. Changes in alpha diversity of intestinal flora in the four groups of rats.
| Group | Shannon index | Simpson index | Invsimpson index |
|---|---|---|---|
| Probiotic group A | 5.901 (5.775, 6.032) | 0.990 (0.988, 0.991) | 98.782 (80.659, 109.309) |
| Probiotic group B | 6.063 (5.851, 6.127) | 0.991 (0.988, 0.993) | 106.220 (83.770, 143.188) |
| Control group | 5.917 (5.888, 5.959) | 0.988 (0.987, 0.990) | 84.399 (77.656, 101.461) |
| Model group | 6.073 (5.909, 6.086) | 0.990 (0.988, 0.992) | 105.645 (83.000, 119.440) |
| H value | 4.032 | 4.677 | 4.677 |
| P value | 0.26 | 0.20 | 0.20 |
Data are presented as median (interquartile range). Control group: fed with water; model group: fed with 5% DSS to induce acute diarrhea; probiotic group A: acute diarrhea model fed with Clostridium butyricum, Bifidobacterium infantis, and Saccharomyces boulardii at the same time; probiotics group B: acute diarrhea model fed with Clostridium butyricum, Bifidobacterium infantis, and Saccharomyces boulardii at 2-hour interval. Invsimpson, inverse Simpson.
