Probiotics attenuate DEP-driven expansion of Proteobacteria and decrease in Actinobacteria. Data shows normalized 100% relative abundance for A upper eight most abundant phyla pie chart with percentages and B upper 20 most abundant genus pie chart with percentages within the small intestine in C57Bl/6 male mice on high-fat (HF) diet exposed to diesel exhaust particles (DEP-35 μg PM) or saline control (CON) twice a week for 4 weeks with a subset of mice given 0.3 g/day (~ 7.5 × 107 cfu/day) of Ecologic® Barrier probiotics (PRO) in the drinking water throughout the exposures. Top phyla and genera relative abundances were determined and analyzed in regards to respective control n = 6–7
