Medical - Medical (general) / Bacteria - Study in vitro - Immunological Action
Portuguese term or phrase: testemunhas
I'm not sure what 'testemunha' means in this context.

Examples in the text:

“...com estas duas estirpes, morte antecipada dos ratinhos soro-imunizados em comparação às testemunhas.”

“...verificando-se nestes casos, por vezes, maior letalidade no grupo imunizado que no grupo testemunha.”


I was wondering if anyone can shed any light on this.
Thanks in advance!

Explanation:
I'd call the second group as "witnesses" plain & simple because they were part of the project, although not immunized for an obvious purpose.

Thats all I can think of, now.
Good luck!
