Abundance of the main bacterial groups present in the murine intestinal microbiota detected by qPCR in naïve and G. muris infected BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice. Fecal gene numbers of the main bacterial groups abundant in the murine intestinal microbiota detected by qPCR in naïve and G. muris infected (day 14) BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice. Individual fecal loads of (a) total Eubacteria, (b) Enterobacteria, (c) Bifidobacteria, (d) Bacterides/Prevotella spp., (e) Mouse Intestinal Bacteroides (MIB), (f) Enterococci, (g) Lactobacilli, (h) Clostridium coccoides and (i) Clostridium leptum. Results are expressed as 16 R rRNA gene copy numbers per ng DNA. Data are pooled from two independent experiments with n = 3–5/group.
