Figure 4From: Protection of rabbits against enteropathogenic Escherichia coli(EPEC) using an intimin null mutantVaccination experiment followed by challenge with a homologous strain after seven days. Average feed intake of the different groups of rabbits plotted against number of days after challenge. One group was vaccinated with strain 97/246.1Īeae seven days before challenge (day -7; i.e. immediately after weaning), while both the vaccinated and the non-vaccinated group were challenged (day 0) with REPEC 97/223.10 wild-type strain. Significant differences between the non-vaccinated and the other groups are indicated with an asterisk (*:P < 0.05).Back to article page
