LF chimera and bLF diminish Vibrio cholerae O1 counts in (A) feces and (B) intestine. Recovery feces and intestines from mice infected and treated were homogenized and serial dilutions were prepared and plated onto LB agar plates with 100 mg/ml streptomycin for 24 h at 37°C. For confirmation, developed colonies were counted and then plated onto CHROMagar™ Vibrio (CHROMagar; Paris, France). On the other hand, the intestines were dissected, homogenized in PBS and serial dilutions were prepared in PBS and plated in LB agar plates with 100 mg/ml streptomycin. Finally, colonies were counted and plated onto CHROMagar™ Vibrio.
