Abstract:This study was performed to determine the degree to which 6 0 Co-g irradiation alters the susceptibility of conventional mice to intragastric challenge with Shigella sonnei as measured by survival, body weight, performance, and microbiology assays of intestinal ora. Female B6D2F1:J mice were given S. sonnei intragastrically 4 days after sublethal 60 Co-g irradiation. Survival and body weight after irradiation and pathogen challenge and under control conditions were examined for 30 days while motor coordination… Show more
