TABLE 2.
E. coli MG1655 (−IS1) and E. coli MG1655 ΔflhDC in mouse cecal mucus and small intestine mucus
| Location | Log10 CFUa
|
|
|---|---|---|
| E. coli MG1655 (−IS1) | E. coli MG1655 ΔflhDC | |
| Small intestine mucus | 3.93 ± 0.26 | 3.60 ± 0.59 |
| Cecal mucus | 5.24 ± 0.39 | 5.16 ± 0.24 |
| Feces | 6.97 ± 0.27 | 7.18 ± 0.18 |

The values are log10 means ± standard errors of the means for three mice. Mucus preparations were isolated on day 16 after feeding. The CFU values for the small intestine and cecal mucus are corrected for the entire volume of each mucus preparation. The fecal values are the CFU/gram of feces at 15 days after feeding.
