Schematic representation of the experimental design for DSS-induced colitis and probiotic administration in mice. Acute colitis was induced in mice by administering dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) in drinking water for 5 days (days 0–5), followed by a 7-day washout and recovery period (days 5–12). Candidate probiotic strains were orally administered during the recovery phase (days 12–17), and all animals were sacrificed on day 17. The experimental groups included: Sham (no DSS or probiotic), DSS control (DSS-CON), positive control (Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG; DSS-LGG), Bifidobacterium longum (DSS-BBH), Lacticaseibacillus paracasei (DSS-CBA7104), Limosilactobacillus fermentum (DSS-CBA7106), and Lactobacillus gasseri (DSS-CBA7108).
