Effect of STW 5 treatment on the relative abundance of Actinobacteria A and Bifidobacterium B in rats with DSS induced UC. Actinobacteria and Bifidobacterium displayed the same pattern of change. DSS induced colitis led to a 2.8 and 486-fold increase in Actinobacteria and Bifidobacterium respectively, an effect which was significantly reversed by STW 5 treatment. The microbial concentration expressed as ng per gram of feces was calculated taking 16S rRNA gene copy number into consideration as detailed in the Methods section. Data represented as means ± standard deviation of at least two independent experiments with number of animals of at least 14 animals per group
