Bacterial load in guinea pigs, showing the protective efficacy in guinea pigs of Flu/ESAT-6 and BCG vaccine nine weeks after s.c. challenge with M. tuberculosis H37Rv (106 CFU). Bacterial loads in lungs and spleens were determined. Data are presented as log10 CFU/organ. Dashes indicate the geometric means of the bacterial loads in the organs of the animals. In all vaccinated groups, the decrease in CFU titers was significant (P < 0.05) based on the Mann-Whitney test.
