Lactobacillus:Enterobacteriaceae decreases in DSS+Ethanol fecal pellets from Day 5 to Day 6. Fecal pellets were collected from mice after weighing and prior to gavage followed by DNA isolation, qPCR, and determination of bacterial RQ for (a) Enterobacteriaceae, (b) Lactobacillus, (c) Lactobacillus: Enterobacteriaceae. Some mice did not produce a fecal pellet, limiting continuous sampling from the same mouse, and therefore data are presented as a summary of each experimental group. Symbols represent the mean ± SEM for the experimental group. RQ: Relative Quantity. n = 4–6 per group
