Presence of L. plantarum 423 and E. mundtii ST4SA in the faeces of mice after a single oral administration. Groups of three mice each (n = 3, per strain) were administered once with 4 × 109 CFU L. plantarum 423 Fluc or E. mundtii ST4SA Fluc. At each time point, log10 averages of the (a) cell counts per 100 mg faeces and the corresponding (b) bioluminescence in log10 p/s per 100 mg faeces for each group of three mice are plotted with standard deviations. Significant differences between the two groups were assessed using the Mann-Whitney nonparametric test and are indicated with one (P < 0.05) or three (P < 0.001) asterisks. The background bioluminescence signal (approximately 5 × 103 p/s) emitted is represented by a dashed line
