Mean gut microbiota populations of (a) total bacteria, (b) Bacteroides spp., (c) Lactobacillus spp., (d) Enterococcus spp., and (e) C. difficile in vessel 3 of model A, B and C at the different stages of the experiment. Bars represent the levels in log10 copies/μL measured by qPCR, and lines represent the populations levels in log10 cfu/mL measured by bacterial culture. CD, C. difficile; rCDI, recurrent CDI; FMT, faecal microbiota transplantation. Asterisks represent significant variations by qPCR between time points: *correspond to p < 0.05, **correspond to p < 0.005, and ***correspond to p < 0.0005
