Effect of subchronic dexamethasone (Dex) or imipramine (Imi) treatment or chronic Enterococcus faecalis 2001 (EF-2001) treatment on stool consistency (a, e), rectal bleeding (b, f), colon length (c, g), and immobility time (d, h) in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-treated mice. Effect of EF-2001 and Dex on histopathologic changes in colon tissue in DSS-induced colitis. Colon tissue of the control (i), DSS 1.5% (j), DSS 1.5% + EF-2001 (k), and DSS 1.5% + Dex (l) groups. The red arrow indicates thinning of the mucous membrane. Bars represent means ± standard error of mean (SEM). #p < 0.05 and ##p < 0.01 vs. vehicle-treated DSS group (n = 10–12 per group)
