Causal role of gut Bacteroides in susceptibility to severe malaria
C57BL/6 mice from Charles River Laboratories (CR) were treated with vancomycin for two weeks, followed by gavage with Bacteroides bacteria. Each mouse was gavaged for 8 consecutive days after the antibiotic cessation. Mice were infected with P. yoelii 17XNL, and fecal pellets were collected 48 hours after the last gavage. DNA was extracted and sequenced MVRSION approach.
