Reduction of the bacterial content of Dermatophagoides farinae by ampicillin (AMP) treatment. (a) Relative amounts of bacterial 16S rRNA gene in ampicillin-treated D. farinae (D.f. + AMP) and untreated D. farinae (D.f.). (b) Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) concentration in the ampicillin-treated and untreated D. farinae extracts. (c) Protein pattern of the extracts from the ampicillin-treated and untreated D. farinae groups. Concentration of Der f 1 (d) and Der f 2 (e) in D. farinae extracts. .
