Campylobacter jejuni Colonization Is Associated with a Dysbiosis in the Cecal Microbiota of Mice in the Absence of Prominent Inflammation
Figure 8
Non-metric multi-dimensional scaling plots of bacterial communities.
Plots depict community terminal restriction fragment (T-RF) T-RF presence/absence of bacteria associated with mucosa within the cecum of mice. Treatments are: C. jejuni Group A (8.8 log10 copy number of C. jejuni g-1 of cecal tissue); C. jejuni Group B (6.4 log10 copy number of C. jejuni g-1 of cecal tissue); and control (not inoculated with C. jejuni). The ellipsoid shows clustering of bacterial communities in C. jejuni Group A mice relative to C. jejuni Group B and control mice.
