Prophylactic potential of a formulation against certain pathogenic bacteria.

A preparation was evaluated for its prophylactic efficacy against bacterial infection, employing the nematode worm as a model host. Worms fed with the preparation prior to being challenged with pathogenic bacteria had a better survival rate against four out of five test bacterial pathogens, as compared to the control worms. feeding prior to bacterial challenge was found to be most effective against , resulting in 27% (p=0.
