Figures & data

Figure 1.  Quantitation of fecal B. fibrisolvens levels in the three study groups. Amplification of specific rDNA was expressed relative to the amplification of universal rDNA sequence and is shown as relative difference. The individual values are represented for each participant and the median value is shown by the bar. *p<0.001, #p<0.05.
