In untreated mice, S. boulardii and C. albicans have opposite effects on DSS-induced colitis. a Experimental design for the administration of fungi (C. albicans and S. boulardii) and dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) administration in conventional mice. b Weight of DSS-exposed mice. For statistical comparisons, an asterisk (*) indicates C. albicans (CA) versus H2O. c Disease activity index (DAI) of DSS-exposed mice. For statistical comparisons, an asterisk (*) indicates S. boulardii versus H2O, and (&) indicates C. albicans versus H2O. d Length of the colons of mice treated with C. albicans (CA), S. boulardii (SB), and vehicle (H2O). e Secreted lipocalin (pg/mg of feces) in the feces of mice treated with C. albicans (CA), S. boulardii (SB), and untreated controls (H2O). Throughout, data are given as the mean ± s.e.m. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and &&&P < 0.001 by one-way ANOVA with a post hoc Tukey or Dunn’s test; n = 12 mice per group from two independent experiments
