TABLE 1.
Viable counts of F. tularensis strains in PECa
| Bacterial straina | No. of bacteria (log10 CFU/well)b
|
|
|---|---|---|
| 0 h | 15 h | |
| SCHU S4 | 3.91 ± 0.04 | 6.21 ± 0.03c |
| FSC043 | 4.21 ± 0.10 | 4.67 ± 0.04 |
| ΔFTT0918 | 4.13 ± 0.07 | 5.63 ± 0.03d |
a
The F. tularensis strain was allowed to infect the cells at a multiplicity of infection of 50.
b
Data represent the mean log10 CFU±standard deviation of three cultures. One representative experiment out of three is shown.
c
Significantly different (P < 0.05) from the CFU of strain FSC043 and the ΔFTT0918 strain by Wilcoxon's nonparametric test.
d
Significantly different (P < 0.05) from the CFU of strain FSC043 by Wilcoxon's nonparametric test.
