Effect of B. velezensis on a clinical isolate of CRKP in the preventive infection murine model.
A) Body weight and B) illness severity were observed during the experimental period. Illness severity score was evaluated as (1 - healthy, 2 - minimally ill, 3 - moderately ill, 4 - severely ill, 5 - dead). C) Survival rate was observed during the entire experimental period. D) CRKP treated group (left image), CRKP + B. velezensis treated group (right image). Statistical significance with the control was analyzed using unpaired Student’s f-test (*** p<0.001; **p<0.01; * p<0.05).

Two-week repeated oral dose toxicity test of B. velezensis using guinea pigs. The body weights of guinea pigs were measured on days 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, and 14. The candidate probiotic was orally administered at 2 x 10s CFU/mice/day at 200 pi per animal once a day, every day, for 2 weeks.
