Figure 1From: Some putative prebiotics increase the severity of Salmonella entericaserovar Typhimurium infection in miceSalmonella counts in organs, distal ileum, and faeces. Enumeration of S. Typhimurium SL1344 from the liver, spleen, mesenteric lymph nodes, distal part of ileum and faeces from mice five days post challenge. A: Control, FOS and XOS; B: Control, beta-glucan and GOS; C: Control, inulin, apple pectin and polydextrose. Values represent means ± SEM. Prevalences of mice with detectable numbers of Salmonella in the organs are shown on the columns. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01Back to article page
