Gastrointestinal pathogen loads following carvacrol treatment of C. jejuni infected mice. Starting 4 days prior peroral C. jejuni infection on days 0 and 1, secondary abiotic IL-10−/− mice were treated with synthetic carvacrol (CARVA; white boxes) or placebo (PLC; grey boxes) via the drinking water. At day 6 post-infection, C. jejuni were cultured from distinct luminal parts of the gastrointestinal tract and pathogen loads expressed as colony forming units per gram (CFU/g). Box plots represent the 75th and 25th percentiles of medians (black bar inside the boxes). The total range, significance levels (p-values) determined by the Mann–Whitney U test and numbers of analyzed animals (in parentheses) are indicated. Data were pooled from four independent experiments
