The influence of a probiotic-combination mix or promutagen on Salmonella Typhimurium. The reactions were separated with or without the addition of S9. Promutagens were added as a positive control group (with S9 addition, BP for TA98 and 2-AA for TA1535; without S9 addition, NQNO for TA98 and SA for TA1535). Sterile water was added as a negative control (NC). The ratio was defined as revertants in the reagent group: revertants in the NC group.
