Saccharomyces cerevisiae prevents postoperative recurrence of Crohn's disease modeled by ileocecal resection in HLA-B27 transgenic rats

Figure 10  Prognostic value of luminal adherent-invasive Escherichiacoli LF82 levels in postoperative recurrence. A: Correlation between luminal adherent-invasive Escherichia coli strain LF82 Levels at week 14 and the risk of postoperative (POR) recurrence at W18 in transgenic (Tg) animals receiving LF82 alone or Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) CNCM I-3856 and LF82; B: Higher frequency of POR in highly infected (HI) Tg animals receiving LF82 alone or S. cerevisiae CNCM I-3856 and LF82 as defined by a cutoff value of 2.262 Log₁₀ CFUs (colony-forming units) of luminal LF82 per gram of stool at W14 in comparison with mildly infected (MI) Tg rats (71.4% vs 25%, P = 0.02). ^aP < 0.05. CFU: Colony-forming unit; log10: Decimal logarithm.
