Figure 2

Colonization of L. fermentum in the respiratory tract of mice obtained after the administration of Ampicillin. The figures express the number of L. fermentum in nasal instillations, pharynx, trachea, bronchia or lung from mice inoculated intranasally with L. fermentum (4 doses of 107 CFU/mouse) and treated with 4 doses of Ampicillin. The inserted figure shows the number of lactobacilli obtained from control mice without antibiotic. (*) indicates differences statistically significant between the two groups of mice
