Antibiotic treatment

Antibiotic administration in the drinking water of mice (vancomycin (0.5 g/liter), neomycin sulfate (1 g/liter), metronidazole (1 g/liter), and ampicillin (1 g/liter)) daily. 

 

 Fecal microbiota transplantation

Stool was collected daily from donor mice and pooled. Donor stool was diluted with saline and homogenized for 1 min using a vortex to achieve a liquid slurry (0.1 g/mL), and then centrifuged at 500g for 3 min to remove particulate matter to facilitate administration. Fresh transplant material (0.2mL/10g) was prepared within 10 min before oral gavage to prevent changes in bacterial composition.
