B. pseudohinzii colonization causes measurable hearing loss in C57BL/6J mice.
Auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds (panel A and B) and distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) levels (panel C and D) recorded every 3–7 days in mice inoculated with 30 CFU (low dose—panel A and C) or 7500 CFU (high dose- panel B and D) of B. pseudohinzii. Selected time points from individual animals are shown for clarity.
