Figure 4. Concentrations of SCFA decrease during antibiotic treatment.

Figure 4

Across all four antibiotic treatment groups, stool concentrations of the SCFA acetate, propionate, butyrate, isobutyrate, valerate, and isovaerate were significantly reduced during the antibiotic treatment (indicated by gray bar) and rapidly returned to pre-antibiotic levels following cessation of the antibiotic treatments. Enrofloxacin – red circles, cephalexin – blue squares, paromomycin – green triangles, clindamycin – black upside-down triangles. The table below shows P values that were determined using a paired-t test with Bonferroni Correction for for multiple comparisons (NS: not significant). Statistics were performed across all antibiotic treatment groups.
