The effect of S. boulardii on the bacterial communities in antibiotic-treated mice. (a) Graphical scheme of the study design. The mice were orally administered ~ 108 cells of S. boulardii daily for five successive days. The mice were divided into two cohorts, where one received antibiotics supplemented in the drinking water. (b) Log10 number of total bacterial cells per gram of faeces before and after receiving the antibiotics. (c) Bar plot of the mean CFU/g assessed in faeces over the first five days. Bar plots are shown as the mean ± SEM *p < 0.5, **p < 0.1, ***p < 0.01, ****p < 0.001. All samples were analysed by Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
