Kinetics of fecal levels of VRE in trials 1, 2 and 3. Trial 1 (n = 5 mice per group), trial 2 (n = 4 mice for control and n = 5 for L. paracasei group), trial 3 (n = 5 mice for control group and n = 8 for L. paracasei group). Values below the detection level at 102 were set to zero and numbers on the right of the empty triangles indicate the number of mice with VRE below the detection level. The continuous and dashed line curves show the median of log-transformed numeration from mice in control and L. paracasei groups computed at each time point. For time points with more than half of the values below 102 the mean of the two extreme values is represented, as the median was not uniquely defined and laid between 0 and the smallest non-zero value. Asterisks indicate a P-value considered statistically significant (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01).
