Lactobacillus acidophilus and vitamin C attenuate ethanol-induced intestinal and liver injury in mice

At the phylum level, Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes were dominant in the faecal microbiota of the control group, whereas Firmicutes, Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes were dominant in the EH group. Of note, LA+VC treatment significantly elevated the proportion of Firmicutes and reduced the Proteobacteria abundance in ethanol-treated mice
