Figure 2

Intestinal microbiota of the large intestine of newborn mice. The large intestine were aseptically removed, weighed and placed into sterile tubes containing peptone water. The samples were immediately homogenized under sterile conditions and serial dilutions of the homogenized samples were obtained and aliquots of the appropriate dilution were spread onto the surface of following agarized media: Mac Conkey were used for enterobacteria; M-17 for lactic flora; RCA-pH5 for bifidobacteria; MRS for total lactobacilli; RCA total anaerobic bacteria. Colony counts are expressed as log10 numbers of bacteria per gram of large intestine. Each point represents the mean of n = 15 ± SD. In order to simplify the analysis of the figure, the statistical analysis is showed only for the two media where significant differences were observed (Mac Conkey and RCA-pH5) comparing all the groups. a,bMeans for each culture medium without a common letter differ significantly (P < 0.05).
