Figure 1From: Feeding of the probiotic bacterium Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 differentially affects shedding of enteric viruses in pigsDetection of enteric viruses in the feces of sows and their piglets using quantitative real-time RT-PCR. A) hepatitis E virus (HEV), B) encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), C) norovirus genogroup II (NoV GGII), D) astrovirus (AstV), E) group A rotavirus (rotavirus A). White columns represent control animals, grey columns represent the probiotic supplement group. (n = 6/time point for the piglets; n = 12/time point for the sows). GE - genome equivalents per g of feces. A Wilcoxon rank-sum test was carried out. *** indicate significant differences between control and probiotic group (p < 0.001).Back to article page
