FK-1P

FK-1P investigates the impact of Lactobacillus paracasei treatment on the gut microbiota in Clostridioides difficile infection. Fecal samples from mice post-infection were processed using Invitrogen with sequencing on the Ion Torrent NGS System. Analysis via Ion Reporter SW (16S) revealed shifts in microbial taxa dynamics over days 1, 3, and 6, shedding light on the potential of probiotics in modulating gut microbiota during C. difficile infection.
The identification of the sample FK-1P:
F: Denotes the strain ST-42 of Clostridioides difficile.
K: Represents timepoint 3, indicating sampling after treatment
1: Refers to the specific mouse number under investigation.
P: Indicates the treatment administered, which in this case is Lactobacillus paracasei.
