Fig. 1. Burn injury decreases gut bacterial load and increases colon permeability.

Fig. 1

Mice were subjected to a 28% total body surface area dorsal scald-burn injury as described in the Methods. On post-burn day 6 (PBD6), cecal stool samples were cultured under (A) anaerobic or (B) aerobic conductions and CFU numbers determined. Sham or PBD6 mice underwent either (C) FITC dextran gavage to determine total intestinal permeability or (D) intestinal ligation proximal to the cecum and FITC dextran cecal injection to determine colon permeability. Sample size is 5 per group. *P<0.05, compared with sham as determined by Student t test.
