Fecal microbiota transplantation mitigates respiratory infection in rats exposed to hypobaric hypoxia by modulating the NLRP3 inflammasome and mucosal immunity
Fig 5
FMT increased sIgA levels in streptococcus pneumoniae-infected rats after hypobaric hypoxia challenge.
sIgA: secretory immunoglobulin A; NN: normobaric normoxia; HH: hypobaric hypoxia; NN + SPI: normobaric normoxia + streptococcus pneumoniae infection; HH + SPI: hypobaric hypoxia + streptococcus pneumoniae infection; HH + FMT: hypobaric hypoxia + fecal microbiota transplantation; HH + FMT + SPI: hypobaric hypoxia +fecal microbiota transplantation + streptococcus pneumoniae infection.
