a

Percent inhibition is the percent reduction in the average level of spore excretion in feces at the end of drug treatment and the week after the end of the experiment compared with the level of spore excretion in feces in the placebo-treated group.

b

PG-11158 was given orally daily (150 mg/kg/day) for 7 days.

c

Fumagillin was given orally once daily (1 mg/kg/day) for 7 days.

d

PG-11158 was given orally daily (75 mg/kg/day) for 7 days.

e
