This statistical report explores how the type of diet and the use of antibiotics affect postoperative recovery in mice. We measure postoperative recovery in terms of postoperative weight over time, survival probability, anastomotic healing score (AHS), and stool and tissue colony count. We observe that mice on a standard diet and no antibiotics have the highest survival probability, the change in weight over time of mice is different between groups when considering the additive effect of diet and antibiotics, and that anastomotic healing scores in mice improve as well their bacteria counts are lowered when on peri-operative antibiotics.
