Figure 3. Major colonic bacterial groups detected by FISH in the culture broths recovered from the vessel 1 (A), vessel 2 (B), and vessel 3 (C) of the colonic model before (SS1) and after (0, 4, 6, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h and SS2) inoculation of S. aureus.

Results are reported as means (Log₁₀ CFU/mL) of the data of three colonic models ± standard error of mean. For each colonic model, measurements were performed in triplicate at SS1 (days 11, 12 and 13) and SS2 (days 21, 22 and 23). ^* P<0.05.
