Fig. 1From: Method comparison for the direct enumeration of bacterial species using a chemostat model of the human colonExperimental timeline for the recurrent CDI model A, and the faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) models B and C. All models followed the same experimental design to induce and treat simulated CDI with clindamycin and vancomycin, respectively. Following treatment course with vancomycin, model A received no further intervention (red arrow), whereas model B and C received an FMT three days post vancomycin treatment (purple arrow). Black lines indicate the times at which samples were collected for qPCR and culture analysisBack to article page
