a
Mean age (in days) at time of inoculation of animals with attaching and effacing lesions (n = 27) was 985, and that of animals without lesions (n = 69) was 1,390. The mean age of all animals (n = 96) was 1,268. The mean number of days of survival for animals with attaching and effacing lesions was 436, and that for animals without lesions was 478. The mean number of days of survival for all animals was 466. AE lesion, attaching and effacing lesion.
