FIG. 2.
Recovery of PhoPc after ivag immunization. Groups of three female BALB/c mice in the diestrus stage were immunized with 109 CFU and sacrificed at different time points following immunization. The different organs were processed and plated on agar plates as described in Materials and Methods. Data are expressed as the geometric mean log10 number of CFU per tissue or organ. The threshold of detection (20 CFU/tissue, or log10 1.3) is indicated by the horizontal dashed line. Error bars indicate the SEM.
