Figure 2. Lactobacillus rhamnosus consumption shaped the composition of faecal microbiota during F4⁺ETEC infection.

(A) Coliforms, (B) Lactobacilli, (C) Bifidobateria, (D) Enterococci and (E) Bacteroides. Fresh faecal samples from all the piglets were collected at days 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13 after weaning. Results are presented as log₁₀ CFU/g faeces, and all counts were performed in triplicate. Data are presented as means ± SEM (n = 5 per group). Within the same time, mean values with different superscript letters (^{a, b}) are significantly different (P<0.05).
