Targeted bacterial load (copy number) quantification by Real-time PCR
| Bacteria | Healthy Subjects | GD | P* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bifidobacterium (103) | 4.05 ± 0.83 | 3.48 ± 0.53 | 0.008* |
| Bacteroides vulgatus(107) | 4.32 ± 0.93 | 4.59 ±0.66 | 0.159 |
| Clostridium leptum (106) | 4.68 ± 1.21 | 4.40± 0.74 | 0.194 |
| Lactobacillus (104) | 7.44 ±1.08 | 6.78 ± 0.64 | 0.012* |
Data were presented as the average estimate of fecal PCR target genetic amplicon copy numbers present in 1 g of feces. Where (*P < 0.05).
