Transplantation of fecal microbiota from DSS-induced colitis mice did not drive inflammation or barrier disruption in the gut of GF recipient mice.

(A) Experimental schedule. (B) Body weights and (C) cecum-to-body weight ratio at the time of sacrifice in each group of mice. (D) Representative photographs of colon and cecum from each group and a graph presenting the colon length. In B-D, statistical significance was determined by ordinary one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparison test (#p ##p ###p p p p < 0.001). GF: GF mice without fecal transplantation, FMT-cont: GF mice transplanted with fecal microbiota from non-colitis mice. FMT-colitis: GF mice transplanted with fecal microbiota from DSS-induced colitis mice.
