Survival rates for each group at day 30 post exposure.
Time-to-death and overall survival rates between groups by pairwise Log-rank test. NA- Log-rank test was not possible due to no deaths occurred in either group.
A total of 9 animals were exposed to anthrax spores but two were excluded from survival analysis due to death related to gavage error. - Not determined due to lack of sufficient number of deaths.
Survival rates for each group at day 32 post exposure.
Comparing overall-survival between the groups. *Two animals from 72 hours and one animal from 84 hours group were non bacteremic at the time of treatment.
