Infection of pigs withS.Typhimurium results in significant reduction in weight gain up to 14 days post-weaning.
Vaccination of pigs with a rough mutantS.Infantis prevents weight gain loss when challenged withS.Typhimurium.
Thus S. Infantis vaccination protects against a different Salmonella serogroup.
Severe ileal lesions associated with S. Typhimurium infection are abbrogated by pre-inoculation with S. Infantis.
S. Infantis gave some protection against E. coli but unrelated M. bovis BCG gave no protection against S. Typhimurium.
