Alpha diversity of mice microbiota. WT and KO mice not infected (empty beads) and infected with P. aeruginosa (RP73) are shown (WT mice: empty beads n = 8 and RP73 infected n = 17; KO mice: empty beads n = 7 and RP73 infected n = 13). Values (means ± standard deviation) of the Inverse Simpson index are reported.
