Effect of bowel cleansing with PEG on the microbiota. Mice were subjected to bowel cleansing with PEG solution by oral gavage. No PEG: no bowel cleansing; 1 PEG: mice receiving one bowel cleansing; 2 PEG: mice receiving two bowel cleansings; 3 PEG: mice receiving three bowel cleansings; 4 PEG: mice receiving four bowel cleansings; 5 PEG: mice receiving five bowel cleansings; 6 PEG: mice receiving six bowel cleansings. (A) Representative picture of the intestine of mice after bowel cleansing. (B) Quantification of luminal microbiota and (C) mucosal microbiota by Real-time qPCR analysis of the 16S rRNA gene. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
