Butyrate Supplementation at High Concentrations Alters Enteric Bacterial Communities and Reduces Intestinal Inflammation in Mice Infected with <i>Citrobacter rodentium</i>.

During peak infection, the administration of butyrate showed a trend for reduced ( P = 0.063) abundance of Firmicutes , and, averaged over the two time points, the densities of mucosa-associated Lachnospiraceae were reduced ( P = 0.022) in mice with and without enteritis ( Fig. 11 and 12 ).
