Effects of streptococcal exposure on (a) food manipulation, (b) beam walking, (c) grooming, and (d) activity. (a) Food manipulation was impaired in GAS-exposed rats. The mean and SE of food manipulation score of GAS rats (n=19) and control rats (n=16). (b) Beam walking was impaired in GAS-exposed rats on the narrow beam only. The mean and SE of the time spent on the wide and narrow beams of GAS rats (n=9) and control rats (n=10). (c) Induced-grooming was enhanced by GAS exposure. The mean and SE of the duration of induced-grooming on three sessions of GAS (n=8) and control (n=8) rats. (d) Activity tended to increase following GAS exposure. The mean and SE of activity counts, in 5 min blocks, of GAS (n=20) and control (n=17) rats during a 30-min activity session. *Significantly different from the control group, P<0.05.
