Early weaning and culling eradicated Helicobacter hepaticus from an acetylcholinesterase knockout 129S6/SvEvTac mouse colony.

Abstract excerpt

The finding of Helicobacter hepaticus infection in our acetylcholinesterase (AChE) knockout mouse colony led to a search for a treatment. One-hundred percent of AChE +/+, 100% of AChE +/-, and 35% of AChE -/- mice tested positive. The lower infection rate in AChE -/- mice, who are routinely weaned on day 15, suggested that early weaning might be an effective eradication strategy. The AChE +/+ and +/- mice were...
