Figure 2From: Decrease in Shiga toxin expression using a minimal inhibitory concentration of rifampicin followed by bactericidal gentamicin treatment enhances survival of Escherichia coli O157:H7-infected BALB/c miceNumber of surviving BALB/c mice after infection with E. coli O157:H7 and treatment with antimicrobial agents. Male BALB/c mice were infected with E. coli O157:H7 and then treated with rifampicin and/or gentamicin as delineated in the materials and methods section. Mice were then monitored for 14 days.Back to article page
