Colonization of recipient mice with microbiota from H. polygyrus-infected or control mice reproduces the microbial composition of the donor. The results are 16S rRNA gene sequence data from fecal pellets of recipient mice that are colonized with microbiota from control (Cont-F) and H. polygyrus-infected (Hp-F) donor mice. (a) The relative abundance of the top 10 genera in each sample of the different recipient groups, in which mice were colonized with Hp-F or Cont-F. (b) Biplot of the principle coordinates analysis (PCoA), based on Bray–Curtis distances. (c) Relative abundance of the top 15 species in each sample from the recipient mice that were colonized with Hp-F and Cont-F. (d) The relative abundance of the top 10 genera in each sample from the Hp-F-colonized recipient mice and from helminth-infected donor (Hp). (e–g) qPCR analysis of fecal Bacteroides, SFB, and Lactobacillus level in donor mice: normal and H. polygyrus-infected mice, and in the recipient mice that are colonized with Cont-F and Hp-F.
