Role of the microbiota in ileitis of a mouse model of inflammatory bowel disease—Glutathione peroxide isoenzymes 1 and 2‐double knockout mice on a C57BL background

Abstract C57Bl6 (B6) mice devoid of glutathione peroxidases 1 and 2 (Gpx1/2‐DKO) develop ileitis after weaning. We previously showed germ‐free Gpx1/2‐DKO mice of mixed B6.129 background did not develop ileocolitis. Here, we examine the composition of the ileitis provoking microbiota in B6 Gpx1/2‐DKO...
