Bacterial burden in (A) spleen, (B) liver, and (C) kidneys at indicated time points following infection of 8-week-old male mice (7.5 × 106 S. aureus USA300 CFUs/mouse). Cumulative data compiled from two separate experiments with four mice per group. ****, P < 0.0005 (by two-way ANOVA and Sidak multiple-comparison test). Female mice demonstrated an identical response.
