Effects of H1 and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis B94 synbiotic supplementation on the gut microbiota in DSS-induced colitis mice
This study investigated the effects of synbiotic supplementation with the H1 prebiotic mixture and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis B94 on the gut microbiota in a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis mouse model. Cecal contents were collected from control (CON), DSS-induced colitis (IBD), probiotic-treated (IBD_PRO), and synbiotic-treated (IBD_SYN) groups. The bacterial community composition was analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing targeting the V3-V4 region to evaluate changes in microbial diversity and taxonomic composition associated with DSS-induced colitis and synbiotic supplementation.
