Box Plot from Scientific Research

Survival of L. reuteri, represented as the ratio of cell numbers estimated using quantitative culture to qPCR in fecal samples collected on days 6, 8, and 12 of each diet period (i.e., 2, 4, and 8 days after L. reuteri administration). This timeframe was chosen because L. reuteri became undetectable in most samples by day 16 (12 days after L. reuteri administration). Within the same day, paired t tests were applied to compare the survival status between the restore diet and usual diet periods for L. reuteri PB-W1 and DSM 20016T, separately; p< 0.05.
