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. 5

The mucosal and stool microbiota respond similarly to inoculation with different numbers (1, 3, or 7) of E. coli strains, whereas the abundance of unique E. coli strains differs by the number of originally inoculated strains. A–C PCoA based on Bray–Curtis distance for the mucosal (A) and stool (B) microbiome and Shannon diversity (C) in Il10−/− mice that received 7, 3, or 1 E. coli isolate(s) followed by FMT2. A, B Each symbol represents an individual mouse, and circles represent 95% confidence limits. Box and whisker plots show the median, first/third quartiles, and min/max index values. There were no significant differences between three cohorts with E. coli-colonization. D Column graphs show relative abundance of barcoded E. coli strains colonizing the distal colon mucosa and stool in Il10−/− mice that received 3 or 7 E. coli isolates followed by FMT2. Bars under cohort “7E.coli + FMT2” are also included in Fig. 4G for another comparison
