Amplify Microbiome

What can we understand from this pie graph?

• Both the mice with the normal gut and low-bacteria gut are likely to get sick.

• Mice with the normal gut are less likely to get sick because there is less room for the bacteria to grow.

• Mice with the low-bacteria gut are less likely to get sick because there is a lot of space.

• Both the mice with the normal gut and low-bacteria gut are not likely to get sick.

Why did the group of mice with spaces and gaps in their microbiome get sicker than the other group?

• Spaces in a microbiome allow bad bacteria like Salmonella or C.diff to grow and expand.

• They were sick mice when we started the experiment.

• They were supposed to get sick from Salmonella.

• Good bacteria weren't able to save them from C.diff.

What is one thing that good bacteria in a healthy and full microbiome do?

• Good bacteria keep people warm like coat because they cover a person all over.

• Good bacteria feed people antibiotics like C.diff and Salmonella.

• Like a shield, good bacteria protect people from bad bacteria because the good bacteria cover every space of a humans body.
