Before the Salmonella serotype Dublin was administered, the treated group (LAB-G = 31 mice) received a 0.1 mL dose of LAB inoculum by daily gavages during 10 days. The control group (C-G = 32 mice) was only inoculated with the pathogen. Individuals weight gain, group food consumption and accumulated morbidity and mortality were daily determined. Each animal health was controlled twice daily throughout all the experiment. The lesions caused by the pathogen were visualized by a hystopathological analysis. The protection of the animals facing the challenge of the used pathogen was demonstrated not only by the highest survival rate of the mice treated with the inoculum versus the control ones but also by the presence of lactic bacteria inoculated mice that did not get ill throughout the experiment. The lactic acid bacteria treatment protected the mice that had been challenged by Salmonella serotype Dublin DSPV 595T. This effect was demonstrated by the higher survival rate of the treated mice when compared to those in the control group. ER -
