Days after infection | Stressed, AHCC-fed | Stressed, PBS-fed | Non-stressed, no-fed | Non-stressed, AHCC-fed |
Day 3 | 4.33 ± 0.04 | 5.62 ± 0.33 | 5.77 ± 0.33 | 5.11 ± 0.89 |
Day 18 | 1.19 ± 0.01 | 3.46 ± 0.76 | 3.21 ± 0.90 | 1.00 ± ±0 |
Day 42 | - | - | - | - |
a values are mean +/- standard deviation of log10 inclusion forming unit/ milliliter representing combined results of two separate experiments (n = 5 to 6 mice per experiment). No significant statistical difference between experimental groups was not observed on Day 3, but significant statistical differences between AHCC-fed and PBS-fed groups were obtained on Day 18.
