Candida albicans colonization in mouse DSS-induced colitis. a Number of C. albicans colony forming units (CFU) recovered from stools. Data are the mean ± SD of 20 mice per group. *P < 0.05 for TLR6^−/− C. albicans and DSS (CaD) mice versus wild-type (WT) CaD mice. b, c Number of C. albicans CFU recovered from the stomach and colon. Data are the mean ± SD of 20 mice per group (P < 0.001). d Mannan levels in the serum of wild-type, TLR1^−/−, TLR2^−/−, and TLR6^−/− CaD mice. *P < 0.05 for TLR1^−/− CaD, TLR2^−/− CaDSS and TLR6^−/− CaD mice versus wild-type CaDSS mice. e FITC-dextran permeability in the colons of mice. Mice were given FITC-dextran by gavage (500 mg/kg body weight). After 4 h, blood samples were collected and fluorescence levels were measured. *P < 0.05 for TLR1^−/− CaD, and TLR2^−/− CaD mice versus wild-type CaD mice
