Relative quantitative PCR (qPCR) of the family of Enterobacteriaceae between the baseline visit 2 compared to antimicrobial + probiotic/placebo visit 3, probiotic/placebo supplement visit 4 and wash-out visit 5 in both groups. The reference gene used for relative qPCR was the 16S rRNA gene that targeted all bacteria. A Kruskal-Wallis test of One-way ANOVA (nonparametric) using Dunnett’s multiple comparisons analysis showed that there was an increase in the family of Enterobacteriaceae for visit 3 compared to visit 2 in both groups that was statistically significant compared to the other visits in both groups, thus confirming the results in the 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing for the enrichment of the family Enterobacteriaceae. *p-value < 0.05, **p-value < 0.01.
