Figure 6From: Enterococcal colonization of the gastro-intestinal tract: role of biofilm and environmental oligosaccharidesGastrointestinal colonization of mice with the wild-type (white bars) or the biofilm-negative transposon mutant 10D5 (black bars). Colonization of mice with the transposon mutant was delayed with about 5–10 times reduced colony counts during the first 5 days of the experiment. After that the colony counts were comparable to the wild-type strain.Back to article page
