Intestinal microbiota composition following human fecal transplantations. Gnotobiotic (secondary abiotic) mice were generated by broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment and subjected to peroral transplantations of human feces as described in “Methods” section. Three weeks following association with human microbiota and immediately before acute ileitis induction, a cultural survey of the intestinal microbiota composition was performed on fecal samples derived from mice of the P. aeruginosa infection cohort (PA; filled circles) as compared to the non-infected control group (N; open circles). Numbers of viable enterobacteria (EB), enterococci (EC), Gram-positive rods (GPR), Bacteroides/Prevotella spp. (B/P), Clostridium/Eubacterium spp. (C/E) and the total loads (TL) were expressed as colony forming units per gram feces (CFU/g). Numbers of animals harboring the respective bacterial groups are given in parentheses and medians are indicated. Data shown were pooled from three independent experiments
