FIG. 1.

Kinetics of survival after challenge of mice with viable Escherichia coli in vivo. Challenge with E. coli at 1.5 × 10⁸ caused at least 10% mortality in control groups and 50% or more in ethanol-treated groups in the three independent experiments shown here. The difference between the survival curve for control and ethanol-treated mice was significant by the log-rank test (p < 0.05) for the three sets of results shown here.
