Intestinal bacteria have a positive effect on Blastocystis cell count in vitro. 107 cells of Blastocystis ST4 were co-cultured with 109 CFU of gut bacteria (B. fragilis, B. longum, B. subtilis, B. vulgatus, E. coli, E. faecalis, and L. brevis) in 1 ml of pre-reduced PBS for 24 h at 37 °C. a Blastocystis ST4-WR1 cell count. b Blastocystis ST4-WR2 cell count
