RESUMO

Salmonellosis-induced mortality in female Swiss Webster mice decreased significantly when tripeptidic immunostimulant (TPI) was administered prophylactically. Prophylactic benefits developed in a dose-dependent manner wherein 15 mg of TPI given 1 day before challenge reduced mortality by 70%.
