C. albicans CHN1 colonization during bacterial recolonization results in long-term gastric erosions at the murine limiting ridge. Histological sections of the murine stomach were stained with H&E to look for evidence of inflammation during cefoperazone-induced microbiota disruption. Untreated mice had no evidence of gastric erosions at any time point. CHN1-colonized mice at day 7 had a low incidence of gastric erosions and, by day 21, no erosions were seen. Cefoperazone-treated CHN1-colonized mice at day 7 had low-grade inflammation that progressed into erosions by day 21.
