Virulence of WT and mtsABC mutant strains in mice
| Strain | No. of dead mice/total no. of micea for inoculum (CFU/mouse):
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
| 107 | 106 | 105 | |
| WT | 5/5 | 8/13 | 5/13 |
| Mutant | 3/5 | 0/13b | 0/13b |
Included among the dead mice are moribund mice (n = 5, distributed among different groups) that were euthanized.
These results are statistically significant from those of the WT strain, assessed by Fisher's exact test.
