Description: Changes in the fecal microbiota of mice fed a control diet (CD) vs mice fed 194 ± 24 mg/kg body weight/day (CD-MX) of xylitol. An abundance of specific bacterial phylum or genus and ratio after seven weeks of xylitol supplementation.

Abundance in Group 1: decreased abundance in CD-MX (medium dose xylotil group)
