Relative faecal wet weight and Salmonella translocation. Relative faecal wet weight (A) before (n = 6 per diet group) and after oral S. enteritidis infection (n = 8 per diet group) of rats fed the control diet (white bars) or the same diet supplemented with BSO (grey bars) or cystine (black bars). Translocation of S. enteritidis as determined by viable pathogen counts (B) in liver and spleen. Results are expressed as means ± SE. CFU means colony-forming units. An asterisk indicates a significant difference from the control diet group (either non-infected or infected rats; p < 0.05).
