A: Bacterial loads in resistant C57BL/6 (mouse 2) and susceptible A/J mice (mouse 3) infected for 24 hours with bioluminescent S. aureus strain SH1000 ALC2906. Uninfected C57BL/6 (mouse 1) and A/J (mouse 4) were used for comparison. B: Bacterial loads in systemic organs (heart, lung, spleen, kidney, or liver) isolated from a susceptible A/J mouse at 24 hours after bacterial inoculation. Visualization of luminescent bacteria was performed using the Xenogen Vivo Vision IVIS 200 system. C: Bacterial loads in systemic organs of C57BL/6 and A/J mice at 24 hours after intravenous infection with 4 × 107 cfu of S. aureus SH1000 determined after serial plating of the organ’s homogenates. D: Bacterial loads in kidneys of C57BL/6, C57BL/10, C3H/HeN, BALB/c, CBA, DBA/2, and A/J mice at 24 hours after intravenous infection with 4 × 107 cfu of S. aureus SH1000 determined after serial plating. Bars represent the mean ± SD of five mice per group. *P < 0.05, by F-test.
