Feces from H. diminuta-infected mice protects mice from DNBS-treated mice. A Experimental paradigm of treatment of male BALB/c germ-free (GF)-mice with feces from mice infected with 5 H. diminuta 8 days previously. Di-nitrobenzene sulphonic acid (DNBS: 3 mg, ir.)-induced colitis evoked 4 weeks after fecal microbial transplant was assessed by body weight (B), colon length (C), and disease (D) and histopathology scores (E). Panel F show representative H&E stained sections of mid-colon (data are mean ± SEM combined from 2 experiments; *, p < 0.05 compared to mice receiving feces from naive control mice; SPF, specific pathogen-free)
