Correlation between the number of intracellular bacteria and the presence of cell death markers in individual phagocytes in the livers of mice infected with Salmonella enterica: the mean intracellular bacterial load and [range], per marker-positive and -negative cell at 72 and 96 hr postinfection

	Mean intracellular bacterial load per cell
BALB/c caspase-3-negative (72 hr)	1·47 [1…23] (n = 2819)
BALB/c caspase-3-positive (72 hr)	1·54 [1…6] (n = 181)
BALB/c caspase-3-negative (96 hr)	1·81 [1…33] (n = 2952)
BALB/c caspase-3-positive (96 hr)	5·60 [1…45] (n = 48)
BALB/c TUNEL-negative (96 hr)	1·70 [1…39] (n = 2966)
BALB/c TUNEL-positive (96 hr)	4·24 [1…27] (n = 34)

BALB/c mice were infected with S. typhimurium C5 (Log₁₀ 3·17 CFU).
