B. infantis reduces S. typhimurium disease severity and systemic translocation.
(A) Macroscopic clinical scoring of mice infected with S. typhimurium reveals a significant reduction in B. infantis pre-fed mice disease symptoms 8 days following initial infection (n = 10/group); (B) S. typhimurium numbers were reduced in the spleens and livers of B. infantis fed mice 6 days following infection (n = 18/group). *p<0.05 versus placebo.
