However, the group immunized with live dpB IV (group 1) showed lower CFU/mL (approaching significance, M-W, p = 0.099) compared to the untreated control group.

Moreover, it should also be noted that several outcomes did not reach statistical significance, which is expected in preliminary exploratory designs with limited sample sizes (related to research with animals which requires strict compliance with animal welfare regulations, including the 3Rs principle and limitations in the number of animals that can be used).
