Abstract
1184 mice were challenged by the oral, conjunctival or intraperitoneal route with bacteria belonging to a fimbriate (1566 F) or a non-fimbriate strain (1566 N) ofS. typhimurium.
The differences in the rates of infections and deaths between the different methods of inoculation were highly significant.
Whatever the route of infection the fimbriate strain is more liable to produce persistent long-lasting infections that may result in late deaths.
