Table 3.
Time trend of total bacteria counts in feces of streptomycin-treated mice fed with cheese containing ∼0% (n = 8) or 40% (n = 8) of fat or not fed with cheese (n = 8).
| Day | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 6 | 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Microbiota_0% | 8.55 +/- 0.21 | 9.19 +/- 0.26 | 8.88 +/- 0.42 | 9.26 +/- 0.27 | 8.95 +/- 0.33 | 9.21 +/- 0.12 | 9.03 +/- 0.46 |
| Microbiota_40% | 8.91 +/- 0.56 | 8.73 +/- 0.60 | 9.01 +/- 0.43 | 9.10 +/- 0.26 | 9.12 +/- 0.27 | 9.08 +/- 0.33 | 8.96 +/- 0.81 |
| Microbiota_NC | 9.00 +/- 0.33 | 9.12 +/- 0.35 | 8.95 +/- 0.56 | 9.41 +/- 0.24 | 8.86 +/- 0.62 | 9.12 +/- 0.19 | 9.06 +/- 0.50 |
Results were obtained by rt-PCR on rRNA 16S coding gene as described in Section “Materials and Methods.” They are expressed as mean Log10 [bacteria] eqCFU/g of feces +/-SEM. Microbiota_0%, microbiota from mice fed with ∼0% fat cheese; Microbiota_40%, microbiota from mice fed with 40% fat cheese. Microbiota_NC, microbiota from mice not fed with cheese.
