T. musculis colonization decreased gut bacterial abundance and diversity. (A) PCoA based on OTU abundance of indicated mice via cecal bacterial 16S rRNA sequencing. Each symbol represents one individual mouse. (B and C) The commensal bacterial α-diversity indicated by the Shannon index (B) and Chao1 index (C). (D) The total number of bacteria determined by quantitative real-time PCR. (E) The fold change of the indicated bacterial phyla’s abundance comparing T. musculis-bearing versus -nonbearing WT mice. (F) The relative bacterial abundance of the indicated taxonomic composition at the phylum level in the indicated mice. (G) LEfSe analysis to determine the alterations of the cecal bacteria after T. musculis colonization. In each group, n = 4 mice. The error bars represent standard deviations. *, P < 0.05; ns, no statistical significance; T. mu, T. musculis.
