Fig. 4: Analysis of the gut microbiota composition and metabolic profiles in fecal samples collected from mice in the NC, CR, BM, L, and ML groups in the C. rodentium infection model.

A Quantification of P. pentosaceus in feces at day 0, 7, and 14. B PCOA of the gut microbiota composition of mice in the five groups. C, D Relative abundances of the most abundant taxa at phylum level. E Relative abundances of the most abundant taxa at genus level. F Relative abundances of Citrobacter, Lactobacillus, Turicibacter and Akkermansia. G SCFAs concentrations in the fecal samples in the five groups. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, n = 6, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, and ****P < 0.0001.
