Colonization ability of the recombinant strain pPG-E2-DCpep/LC W56 in the intestinal tracts of mice. BALB/c mice were orally administrated with the cFDA-SE-labeled strain pPG-E2-DCpep/LC W56 (A) followed by extraction of the duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and colon of mice on days 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15 after oral administration, and the microbes dislodged from mucosal surface were subjected to flow cytometric analysis. Results showed that pPG-E2-DCpep/LC W56 can adhere and colonize in the intestinal tracts of mice, and adhesion of the pPG-E2-DCpep/LC W56 was most prominent in the colon (B).
