Figure 5From: Development of a luciferase-based reporter system to monitor Bifidobacterium breve UCC2003 persistence in micePersistence of B. breve UCC2003 pLuxMC derivatives in the murine GIT. The log of colony forming units of B. breve UCC2003 containing either pLuxMC1 (●) or pLuxMC2 (■) per gram of faeces over 33 day trial period. The data is representative of duplicate plating from the available feacal samples at each given time point. On day one to three the mice were orally gavaged with 109 B. breve UCC2003 containing either pLuxMC1 (control) or pLuxMC2 (test).Back to article page
