From: Exposure to a social stressor disrupts the community structure of the colonic mucosa-associated microbiota

Figure 4

The absolute abundance of bacteria in the genus Lactobacillus is reduced by exposure to the SDR stressor. Mice were exposed to either 0, 1, or 6 consecutive days of the SDR stressor and qPCR used to quantify Lactobacillus group bacteria (A and B) or L. reuteri (C) in the colon. *indicates p < .05 vs. 0 cycles of SDR (0 cycles is equivalent to HCC controls). Inbred C57Bl/6- n = 16 at Day 0, n = 7 on Day 1, and n = 8 on Day 6. Outbred CD-1- n = 21 at Day 0, n = 15 at Day 1, and n = 6 on Day 6.
