Safety Assessment of Bacteroides uniformis CECT 7771 Isolated from Stools of Healthy Breast-Fed Infants
Fig 5
The measurement of serum IgA concentration in immunocompetent and immunosuppressed mice, fed either B. uniformis CECT 7771 or placebo.
Control, mouse group fed placebo daily by gavage for 6 days (n = 10); Control + B, mouse group that received a daily dose of 2 x109 CFU B. uniformis CECT 7771 by gavage for 6 days (n = 10); IMM, immunosuppressed mouse group fed placebo daily by gavage for 6 days (n = 10); and IMM+B, immunosuppressed mouse group receiving a daily dose of 2 x109CFU B. uniformis CECT 7771 by gavage for 6 days (n = 10). Data are expressed as means ± SEM. The differences were determined by applying the Mann-Whitney U test. In every case, p-values <0.05 were considered statistically significant. These measurements were taken in triplicate for each sample.
