Table 1. Previously Reported Clinical and Histopathological effects of S. Typhimurium.
challenged Data in this table are summarized from a previously reported study.(Boyer et al. 2015) Fecal consistency was scored on a 4 point scale by an individual blinded to the study design (1= no diarrhea; 4= severe, profuse diarrhea). Histopathology scoring was performed as previously reported. Villus blunting was scored on a 5 point scale with 0 = 1:4 crypt to villus height and 4 = no villus present. Villus fusion and lymphoid depletion were scored on a 4 point scale with 0 = normal and 3 = severe. n=5–6 per group. pvalues generated by two tailed students t-test. For significance, y=yes; n=no.
