Bacterial composition of the murine cecum during C. albicans colonization. Clone libraries were constructed to investigate the relative abundances of the bacteria in the murine cecum at day 7 (A and B) and day 21 (C and D). Bacterial populations are shown as percentages of the total 16S rRNA clones for each treatment group. Cefoperazone treatment in the presence or absence of C. albicans diminished Bacteroidetes populations in the cecum at day 7. At day 21, the presence of C. albicans during recovery from cefoperazone resulted in recovery of Bacteroidetes populations, while there was no recovery in cefoperazone-only mice.
