Kefir modulates the composition of the gastrointestinal microbiota. Alpha diversity (Shannon) of the ileal, caecal and faecal microbiota was compared between mice receiving kefir (Fr1 or UK4) and mice receiving milk control using violin plots (a). Beta diversity was assessed by PERMANOVA to investigate the dissimilarity in the gut microbial composition, which were depicted using MDS plots. Dots represent individual animals (n = 12) (b). Differentially abundant taxa were determined using LEfSe (c)
