LVS vaccinated Fischer 344 rats controlled SCHU S4 growth. Fischer 344 rats were either left unvaccinated or vaccinated s.c. with 2.9 × 107 LVS and then challenged i.t. 35 days later with 2 × 104 SCHU S4. On the indicated days, 3-5 rats were killed to determine the number of SCHU S4 in the lungs, liver and spleen. Where indicated, the ratios represent the number of organs sampled containing bacteria over the total number of organs examined; otherwise, bacteria was found in all organs examined for that time point. When no bacteria were found, a value equal to the limit of detection was used to calculate the mean bacterial burden ± SD. The dashed lines show the limit of detection of each tissue.
