Figure 2

Translocation of indigenous enterococci in CX3CR1−/− mice. Each dot (●) represents one CX3CR1−/− mouse (n = 8) treated for three consecutive days with clindamycin and indicates the number of colony-forming units (CFUs) per gram of content (g of content) or per organ. The dotted line represents the detection limit. Horizontal bars represent the median values from two independent experiments. Enterococcal counts in the gut lumen (A) were conducted on luminal content from the small intestine (cSi), the caecum (cCA) and the colon (cCO). Enterococcal counts in the gut tissues (B) were conducted on the small intestine (SI), the caecum (CA) and the colon (CO). Enterococcal counts in the peripheral organs (C) were conducted on the mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs), the mesenteric adipose tissue (MAT), the spleen (SP), the kidneys (KDs), the liver (LV) and the heart (HR).
