From: A consortia of clinical E. coli strains with distinct in vitro adherent/invasive properties establish their own co-colonization niche and shape the intestinal microbiota in inflammation-susceptible mice

Fig. 3

Inflamed (Il10−/−) vs. un-inflamed (WT) states promote divergent patterns of E. coli colonization in the stool and mucosa. Il10−/− and WT mice were the same as Fig. 2. A Column graph showing relative abundance of 7 E. coli strains in inoculum, distal colon mucosa and stool collected at the harvest, based on analyzing the barcode region. B Inflammation of the proximal colon (PC) and distal colon (DC) in Il10−/− mice was scored histologically (0–4) as compared to WT mice (Each symbol in WT represents PC and DC score averaged together). Line is at mean, and p-values determined by Mann–Whitney test compared to WT (**** p < 0.001). Representative H&E histology at × 40 of the colon. Scale bar = 100 µm
