MS diet protects mice from AIEC intestinal colonization and inflammation. (a) Experimental protocol of infection used in the study. (bd) AIEC LF82 load in (b) the stools at days 1, 2 and 3 post-infection, (c) associated to ileum and (d) associated to colonic mucosa was quantified on selective medium (CTR group: n = 11, MS diet: n = 13–15, two independent experiments pooled). (e) Micro-inflammation marker Lcn-2 was quantified in the stools, at days 1, 2 and 3 post-infection by ELISA (CTR group: n = 5, MS diet: n = 5). (fg) Pro-inflammatory cytokines KC (Keratinocyte Chemoattractant) (f) and IL-6 (g) were quantified in colonic mucosa release medium by ELISA (n = 5 for each group). Mann–Whitney test. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
