The protective effect of the oral administration of fermented egg white powder (FEWP) on experimental <i>Escherichia coli</i> infection was investigated in immunosuppressant-treated mice. After intravenous infection with <i>E. coli</i> (3.1×10<sup>6</sup> CFU), cyclophosphamide reduced the survival rate from 100% to 25%. When FEWP was given once daily for 4 days before infection, the survival rate increased to 70%. Cortisone acetate also reduced the survival rate from 100% to 30%, but when FEWP was given once daily for 4 days before infection the survival rate increased to 65%. These results show that FEWP markedly enhanced resistance to <i>E. coli</i> infection in cyclophosphamide- and cortisone-treated mice one day after completing FEWP pretreatment.
