Figure 5From: The murine appendiceal microbiome is altered in spontaneous colitis and its pathological progressionConstituents and proportion of Proteobacteria families in appendices. (A) Relative proportions of different families in Proteobacteria appendix samples from C57BL/6; and 12-week-, and 15-week Winnie mice. Acetobacteraceae are increased in 15-week Winnie mice when compared to 12-week Winnie mice (P < 0.05). (B) Individual Proteobacteria family preponderances appendix samples from C57BL/6; and 12-week-, and 15-week Winnie mice. Helicobacteraceae was not present in C57BL/6 controls. Rhizobiaceae, Pasteurellaceae, Xanthomonadaceae, Vibrionaceae, Sphingomonadaceae, Bartonellaceae, Pseudomonadaceae, and Campylobacteraceae which had trace presence in 12-week Winnie mice appendices, flatten out at the 15-week time-point. C57BL6: 2 samples; 12-week Winnie: 4 samples; 15-week Winnie: 5 samples.Back to article page
