TABLE 2.
Qualitative observation of disease in germfree mice 6 days postinfection with E. coli O157:H7 PA2 with and without E. coli C600
E. coli inoculum | No. healthy | No. sick | No. moribund/dead |
---|---|---|---|
PA2 only | 11a | 0 | 0 |
PA2 + C600 | 2 | 5 | 3 |
The PA2-plus-C600-infected mice had a higher morbidity and mortality rate than mice infected with PA2 alone (P < 0.05 by chi-square test).
