WT mice cohoused with Dock2−/− mice have a higher bacterial load and shorter colonic length after C. rodentium infection than WT mice without cohousing. A Schematic diagram of Cohousing experiments. WT and Dock2−/− mice were not cohoused or cohoused for 4 weeks and infected with C. rodentium. B The amount of C. rodentium in the feces on days 5, 10, 14, 17, and 21 after infection. C Colon length on day 21 after infection. WT-cohoused, n = 15; Dock2−/−-cohoused, n = 9; WT not cohoused, n = 10; Dock2−/−-not cohoused, n = 4. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 vs. Not cohoused WT. Results were representative of two independent experiments
