S. Typhimurium fecal shedding and tissue colonization following swine inoculation. At 8-weeks of age, swine administered β-glucan (500 g/ton; n = 13; BG) and pigs receiving a non-amended control diet (n = 14; NC) were intranasally inoculated with PBS containing 1 × 109 CFU of wild-type S. Typhimurium UK1. A S. Typhimurium fecal shedding was determined at 2, 4, 7, and 16 days post-inoculation (dpi). B Colonization of cecal contents, ileal Peyer’s patches and ileocecal lymph nodes (ICLN) by S. Typhimurium was determined at 16 dpi. The error bars indicate the standard error of the mean (SEM). Differences were considered statistically significant when the P ≤ 0.05
