FIG. 9.

Ability of the C. jejuni 81-176 ggt mutant to colonize mice after mixed oral infection. C. jejuni 81-176 and its ggt isogenic mutant were simultaneously administered orally to Myd88^−/− mice. The numbers of CFU of the two strains in the feces (A) and intestines (B) of the infected animals were determined at different times after infection, as indicated. The numbers of CFU of the wild type (WT) and the ggt mutant in each mouse are indicated by linked closed and open diamonds, respectively.
