Impact of microbiota modifications on fecal Short-Chain Fatty Acid (SCFA) levels in a representative experiment. D31/D0 ratio of acetate (a), propionate (b) and butyrate (c) in feces from control and infected rats. The SCFAs were quantified by gas liquid chromatography in feces of control (n = 6) and infected rats (n = 12) at D31. Statistical analysis: a-c, t-test *p < 0.05.
