Intestinal pathogen (streptomycin-resistant E. coli) preventative effect in mice administered with EF-2001
Mice were administered feed containing 10% EF-2001 for a four-week period, then orally administered streptomycin-resistant (SM-resistant) exogenous E. coli bacteria. The number of SM-resistant E. coli bacteria in the excrement of the mice was measured.
* (n) = number of mice with SM-resistant E. coli bacteria found in their excrement
SM-resistant E. coli quickly disappeared from the excrement, indicating an intestinal pathogen preventative effect.
