E. coli self-restoration and rescue experiment
(A) The level of gut E. coli in the T7-treated group gradually recovered after the 14 day experiment (data started from day 16) and restored to the pre-phage treatment level at day 24 (n = 12; data displayed as mean ± SD).
(B) The gut E. coli level in the T7-treated group during the 14 day rescue experiment with phage administration at day 4 and E. coli gavaging at day 8 (n = 12; data displayed as mean ± SD).
(C) TST results at days 0, 4, and 8 showed the correlation between behavioral changes of the mice the depletion and reintroduction of E. coli (n = 12; data displayed as mean ± SD).
