Effects of streptococcal exposure and ampicillin treatment on (A) food manipulation, (B) marble burying, and (C) forced swim test (FST). (A) The mean and SE of food manipulation scores of GAS-Water, Control-Water, GAS-ampicillin, and Control-ampicillin rats. (B) The mean and SE of number of marbles buried by GAS-Water, Control-Water, GAS-ampicillin, and Control-ampicillin rats. (C) The mean and SE of the duration of immobility time in the FST of GAS-Water, Control-Water, GAS-ampicillin, and Control-ampicillin rats. N per group  = 12–15 rats. *p<0.05, ***p<0.0001.
