Fecal shedding of <i>A</i>. <i>butzleri</i> strains in orally infected gnotobiotic IL-10^-/- mice.

<p>Gnotobiotic IL-10^−/− mice were generated by antibiotic treatment and perorally colonized either with (<b>A</b>) <i>A</i>. <i>butzleri</i> strain CCUG 30485 or (<b>B</b>) strain C1. <i>A</i>. <i>butzleri</i> loads were determined in fecal samples (CFU, colony forming units per gram) over 16 days postinfection (p.i.) by culture. Numbers of analysed animals are given in parentheses. Medians (black bars) are indicated. Data were pooled from three independent experiments (<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0139402#pone.0139402.s001" target="_blank">S1 Table</a>).
