Table 1. Efficacy of DV-STM-07 vaccine in pregnant mice.

Strain used	No of mice	Death of mother	Mice Aborted/resorption	No of Pups Delivered by surviving mothers	No of pups dead (0-10 Days)/Total no of pups	No of pups dead (10-20 Days)/Total no of pups
WT Salmonella	6	1	3	15	3/15	6/12 ( p-value = 0.004)
DV-STM-07	6	0	1	12	3/12	0/9
PBS	5	0	0	27	7/27	0/20

Pregnant BALB/c mice were infected with WT and Vaccine strain DV-STM-07 (10⁷ cfu) and were observed for abortion and the offspring outcome. With WT infection, abortion and the death of pups after delivery was more than DV-STM-07 infected mice. The data shows the representative of three independent experiments performed. Fisher's exact test was used to analyze the data. p-values are provided for statistically significant data.
