Genus correlated to integrity and damage of the epithelial of the mucosa. (A) Non-damaged mucosa from a control pig (score = 0), (B) damaged mucosa with villi shortened and Salmonella infiltration (score = 3) and (C) damaged mucosa with complete erosion of villi and high concentration of Salmonella (score = 5). (D) Relative counts of taxa correlated to epithelium damage at the ileum mucosa (p < 0.01).
