16S rRNA (V3-V4) profiling of fecal microbiome in DSS-induced colitis mice treated with a synbiotic combination
This study investigates the synergistic effects of a synbiotic combination of Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum on the gut microbiota of mice with DSS-induced colitis. We performed 16S rRNA gene sequencing (V3-V4 region) to analyze changes in fecal microbial composition and diversity following the synbiotic treatment, aiming to understand its potential role in alleviating intestinal inflammation.
