---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 h | 2.5 h | 5 h | 7.5 h | 10 h | |
S. typhimurium χ3181 | 18.82 ± 3.16 | 14.42 ± 3.99 | 43.72 ± 17.06 | 58.65 ± 33.98 | 52.26 ± 25.64 |
S. pullorum χ3423 | 5.68 ± 1.06 | 13.84 ± 10.69 | 24.52 ± 19.73 | 2.22 ± 0.58 | 3.86 ± 1.74 |
Percent survival was calculated as the percent of inoculum cultured after phagocytosis and gentamicin killing of extracellular bacteria. An increase in percent indicates bacterial replication; a decrease indicates killing of the bacteria.
