FIG. 1.
Experiment timeline for the induction of allergic airway disease following antibiotic therapy and fungal microbiota increase. C57BL/6 mice were given oral cefoperazone (0.5 mg/ml) in their drinking water for 5 days (days −4 through 0). At day 0, C. albicans (107 CFU) was administered orally, and mice were challenged intranasally (days 2 and 9) with A. fumigatus conidia (107 conidia/mouse). Mice were harvested at day 12 posttreatment.
