Gut microbiota depletion by antibiotics regulates colonic contractility. Recordings were made of spontaneous phasic contractions of proximal colon. Representative recordings from antibiotics-treated mice (a) and control mice (b). Tension (c) and frequency (d) normalized to basal values in antibiotics-treated and control mice. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. ***P < 0.01
