Fecal commensal microbiota composition following fecal microbiota transplantation in C. jejuni infected secondary abiotic mice. Secondary abiotic mice were infected with C. jejuni on days 0 and 1 by gavage. Starting a week later, infected mice were subjected to peroral fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from murine donors (open circles; n = 16) on three consecutive days or received vehicle (mock; closed circles; n = 13). On day 21 post-infection (i.e., 14 days post FMT), the fecal commensal microbiota composition was surveyed by culture-independent 16S rRNA methods quantitating the main bacterial groups and species including enterobacteria (EB), enterococci (EC), lactobacilli (LB), bifidobacteria (BB), Bacteroides/Prevotella (BP) species, Clostridium coccoides group (CC), Clostridium leptum group (CL) and Mouse Intestinal Bacteroides (MIB) and expressed as gene numbers per ng DNA. Medians and significance levels (p-values; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001) determined by the Mann-Whitney U test are given. Data were pooled from three independent experiments.
