Quantification of probiotic strains in fecal samples by qPCR. a Quantification of absolute cell numbers of probiotic strains in fecal samples by strain-specific qPCR. Shown are probiotic and synbiotic treatment groups at baseline and treatment time points. Significance of P ≤ 0.05 is denoted by a single asterisk (*), P ≤ 0.01 by two asterisks (**), and P ≤ 0.001 by three asterisks (***). b Direct comparison of absolute abundances of B. adolescentis IVS-1 and B. animalis subsp. lactis BB-12 at each time point using strain-specific qPCR. Different letters indicate significant differences between groups (P ≤ 0.05)
