Intestinal microbiota composition following multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa infection of mice suffering from chronic colitis. IL-10−/− mice with chronic colitis (n = 19) were perorally infected with a multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa strain on day (d) 0. Before (N, naive; white circles) and six weeks thereafter (d42 postinfection; black circles) a comprehensive survey of the intestinal microbiota composition was performed on fecal samples applying both (a) culture (expressed as colony forming units per gram, CFU/g) and (b) 16S rRNA based molecular analyses (expressed as gene numbers per ng DNA) of the total bacterial load (TL) and main intestinal bacterial groups including enterobacteria (EB), enterococci (EC), lactobacilli (LB), Bacteroides/Prevotella spp. (BP), Clostridium/Eubacterium spp. (CE), bifidobacteria (BB), Clostridium coccoides group, Clostridium leptum group (CL) and Mouse Intestinal Bacteroides (MIB). Medians are indicated. Data shown were pooled from three independent experiments.
