(E) Candidatus Arthromitus sp. SFB-mouse. (F) Escherichia coli. (G) Blautia sp. Ser8. (H) Robinsoniella peoriensis. (I) Clostridium sp. Clone-27. (J) Blautia sp. canine oral taxon 143. (K) Parabacteroides distasonis. (L) Blautia coccoides. (M) Clostridium sp. HGF2. (N) Clostridium bolteae. (O) Lactobacillus intestinalis. (P) Lactobacillus reuteri. (Q) Bacteroides acidifaciens. (R) [Clostridium] cocleatum. (S) Enterococcus casseliflavus. (T) Bacteroides sp. TP-5. (U) Negative correlation (r = -0.38, P = 0.01) between Lactobacillus intestinalis and DAT immunoreactivity. (V) Negative correlation (r = - 0.39, P = 0.01) between Lactobacillus reuteri and DAT immunoreactivity. Data are shown as mean ± S.E.M. (n = 10). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
