Figure 3. Helminth infection results in enhanced C. rodentium translocation in colonic tissue of MyD88 KO mice.

Figure 3

A. Immunofluorescence microscopic analysis of bacterial distribution and localization in the colonic tissues at day 5 post C. rodentium infection. Most of the bacteria were detected in the intestinal epithelial surface in MyD88 knockout mice with bacterial infection alone. An increased bacterial translocation was detected in MyD88 knockout mice with helminth-coinfection. Green: GFP-C. rodentium, Blue: DAPI. Red: CD11c in MLN. B. Numbers of bacteria recovered from fecal samples of C. rodentium-infected and co-infected MyD88 knockout mice at 7 days post-infection. The data shown are represented as the mean ± the SEM (n = 6 to 7 mice). *p<0.05.
