Table 2 Experimental animal protocol. ADW: autoclaved distilled water; MRS: autoclaved MRS medium; ADW + Cr(VI): potassium dichromate in autoclaved distilled water (1 mM); MRS + TW1-1: TW1-1(1 × 109 CFU/once every other day) in 0.25 mL MRS medium; MRS + LZU-D2: LZU-D2 (1 × 109 CFU/once every other day) in 0.25 mL MRS medium. Mice received ADW (+Cr[VI]) ad libitum, and received MRS, MRS + TW1-1, and MRS + LZU-D2 via gavage.
