Influence of E. coli Nissle 1917 (Mutaflor) and rifaximin on myeloperoxidase activity in colonic mucosa in rats without or with acetic acid-induced colitis. Mean value ± SEM. N = 8 animals in each experimental group and each time of observation. a P < 0.05 compared to control saline-treated rats without induction of colitis; b P < 0.05 compared to colitis + NaCl; c P < 0.05 compared to colitis + Mutaflor; and d P < 0.05 compared to colitis + rifaximin.
