Changes in the Gut Microbiota of Mice Under the Action of Ultrasonic-induced Stress

Abstract

The effect of ultrasound-induced stress on the gut microbiota composition of C57BL/6 mice was studied. Under the action of this type of stress, the gut microbiota composition shifts towards firmicutes at the phylum level. At the family level, an increase in Lachnospiraceae by 67.43%, Rikenellaceae by 39.29%, as well as a decrease in Bacteroidaceae by 64.75% and Prevotellaceae by 38.51%. is observed. The most prominent changes under the action of stress were revealed at the genus level: out of 28 identified genera, significant changes were recorded in 13.
