Figure 3. Bacterial Burden in (A) Spleen, (B) Liver, and (C) Lung of Mice after Subcutaneous Infection with WT, flmF2, or flmK Mutant Bacteria.

C57BL/6 mice (n = 3 each group) were injected with WT (•, 520 cfu), flmF2 (×, 465 cfu), or flmK (▴, 425 cfu) mutant bacteria. Mice infected with WT Fn were all dead by day 2 post-infection. Representative of two independent experiments.
