In all, 6–8-week-old male SPF mice (n = 5) were gavaged with B. uniformis or PBS and then subjected to DSS treatment. Squares represent DSS-treated mice, circles represent controls. Black represents B. uniformis-treated mice, gray represents PBS-treated controls. a Percent of original weight in mice. b Colon length and c fecal lipocalin (P = 0.0711) at the end of DSS treatment. d Representative histology images and e associated scores from DSS-treated mice (P = 0.0088). Statistics: all bars/lines represent mean values +/- SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 for one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison (b) and two-tailed unpaired Student’s T test (c, e).
