Antibiotic treatment (ABX) results in significantly reduced bacterial load in antibiotics exposed dams
Bacterial load as determined by copies of the 16S rRNA genes in fecal samples collected from antibiotic treated (ABX) and untreated dams (NO ABX) at day 21 post-birth. Data are represented as mean ± SEM. A Mann Whitney test was used to assess statistical significance, where ∗∗∗p < 0.001.
