Effect of dietary restriction and immunization on bacterial load. BALB/c mice were submitted to dietary restriction (20%), immunized with the formolized bacteria and infected with 5 × 108 CFU/0.5 ml of S. aureus. The bacterial load was determined 24 hours later in the blood (a), spleen and lung (b) and liver (c). Results are expressed as mean ± SD of 5 animals per group (*p < 0.05) in relation to well nourished group.
