: This experiment was carried out in triplicate using faecal samples from three different volunteers (one faecal donor for each experimental set up). The study was conducted according to guidelines laid down in the Declaration of Helsinki 1975, as revised in 1983. After obtaining verbal informed consent, a standard questionnaire to collect information regarding the health status, drugs use, clinical anamnesis, and lifestyle was administrated before the donor was asked to provide a faecal sample. All procedures involving human subjects were approved by the Ethics Committee of the University of Reading.
