Pediococcus pentosaceus LI05 reinforced gut barrier function by mitigating the CD-induced disruption Tight Junction Proteins (ZO-1, occluding, claudin-1). (N = 8 per group) (A) ZO-1 immunofluorescence (×200) and mRNA expression of ZO-1 in colonic tissue. (B) mRNA expression of occluding, claudin-1 in colonic tissue. NC, normal control; CDI, C. difficile infected; LI05, P. pentosaceus LI05 treated.
