Log10 CFU of S. Typhimurium in livers (A), spleens (B), and small intestines (C) of infected mice after 48 h of therapy with cryptdin 2 (Cry) and ampicillin (Amp), separately and in combination. Values are expressed as means ± SD for two independent experiments. Statistical analysis was done using one-way ANOVA. *, P < 0.05 versus log10 CFU of S. Typhimurium in untreated mice (control); #, P < 0.05 versus log10 CFU of S. Typhimurium in mice treated with Amp (16 mg/kg body weight); †, P < 0.05 versus log10 CFU of S. Typhimurium in mice treated with cryptdin (5 μg/mouse).
