DSS-induced murine colitis. C57BL/6 mice (n = 5/group) were orally inoculated with NCK2031, NCK56, NCK2025 (5 × 108 CFU/100 μL/mouse) or PBS for 4 consecutive days. S. aureus-LTA (12.5 μg/μL) was dissolved in the drinking water and provided to the mice until day 13. These groups of mice were exposed to 3% DSS dissolved in the drinking water for 5 days followed by 7 days of plain water and assessed over time for colitis, including (a) hematoyxylin & eosin (H&E) staining, (b) weight loss, (c) diarrhea, and (d) disease activity index (DAI). Data are representative of at least three independent experiments.
