Changes in intestinal alpha diversity, or the number and relative abundance of unique bacterial species within each cohort, based on Chao1 indices at POD 0, 3, 7, and 14 are represented by traditional boxplots in naïve rats (A), LCHS (B), LCHS/CS 7/7 (C), and LCHS/CS 14 (D) cohorts. Data demonstrate a relative stable microbiota alpha diversity within the naïve and LCHS cohorts but with the addition of chronic stress (CS) to the model of trauma, there is a statistically significant change in the alpha diversity by POD 7 in the LCHS/CS 7/7 and LCHS/CS 14 cohorts. POD (post-operative day); LCHS (lung contusion and hemorrhagic shock); LCHS/CS 7/7 (lung contusion, hemorrhagic shock and 7 days of chronic restraint stress followed by 7 days of routine daily handling); LCHS/CS 14 (lung contusion, hemorrhagic shock, plus 14 days of chronic restraint stress); NS (not significant).
