Absolute abundance of E. coli bacteria determined using E. coli specific qPCR. Total E. coli equivalent colony forming per gram of stool (CFU/gram stool) of each participant’s stool sample was assessed at three time points before chemotherapy (Pre-chemo), 7–10 days post chemotherapy (Post-1) and at the end of one chemotherapy cycle (Post-2). Dots represent individual values of 19 paired subject samples. The increase in E. coli absolute abundance following chemotherapy was not significant (p = 0.18; paired t-test)
