Probiotic Lactobacillus spp. altered the gut specific bacteria against H. pylori in the mouse stomach. Mouse stool was collected for analyzing qRT-PCR to identify the bacterial species, including (A) Bifidobacterium, (B) Proteobacteria, (C) A. muciniphila, and (D) E. coli. The alterations of gut specific bacteria were determined as described in the Materials and Methods. Statistical analysis was subjected to the Kruskal-Wallis test with post hoc test by Dunn test. p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
