16S rRNA sequencing, DSS-induced colitis mice
Twenty female C57BL6/J mice (6-7 weeks old) were divided into four groups; vehicle/water, vehicle/DSS, L lactis L8/water, L lactis L8/DSS (n=5 per group). The mice were orally administered with L lactis L8 or vehicle for 12 days. Colitis was induced by the addition of DSS to drinking water for 7 days. Fecal samples were collected on day 12, and 16S rRNA sequencing was performed.
