NMR Spectra of mice models of infection. a Stacked NMR Spectra produced from faecal samples of the control mice (green), or either the C. parvum Iowa II (blue) or C. parvum Weru (purple) groups, 10 days’ post infection. b Levels of taurine were substantially lower in the control or C. parvum Weru samples compared to C. parvum Iowa II. c Direct comparisons of the spectra revealed several clearly identifiably differences, including differences in creatine and creatine phosphate levels. d Lactate levels were also much higher in C. parvum Iowa II infected mice compared to the barely detectable levels in the control mice or C. parvum Weru infected groups
