Figure 6: Contribution of siderophore utilization to fitness of Bacteroides isolates in vivo.

Figure 6:

(A – E) Groups of C57BL/6 mice were treated with a cocktail of antibiotics, followed by intragastrical inoculation of B. sp (WZ837, GenR) or B. vulgatus (WZ748, GenR). Groups of mice either remained untreated (N = 4), or were intragastrically inoculated with the S. Tm wild-type strain (N = 5) or a S. Tm entB mutant (WZ818, N = 5). (A) Schematic representation of the experiment. Four days after the S. Tm inoculation, the abundance of B. sp (B) and B. vulgatus (C) populations in the colonic contents was determined by plating on selective agar. Bars represent the geometric mean ± 95% confidence interval. **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001; ns, not statically significant.
