Paclitaxel sensitivity can be recapitulated in germ free mice by microbiota transfer. Germ-free B6 (A,D,G) and 129 mice (B,E,H) reconstituted with homologous fecal microbiota show similar sensitivity as wildtype mice post Paclitaxel injection. In germ-free B6 mice reconstituted with B6 microbiota, antibiotic treatment abolishes Paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain (C,F,I). N = 16 for each (8 males and 8 females) except for 129-B6mb mice in which the n was 15 (8 males, 7 females), ***p < 0.001.
