Comparison of the systemic dissemination resulting from subcutaneously infected parental and Δsse strains. Groups of six CD-1 mice were subcutaneously infected with 8.3 × 107 CFU of MGAS5005, 10.2 × 107 CFU of the Δsse strain, or 8.6 × 107 CFU of the Δsse-sse strain. The blood and spleens were collected at 2, 3, and 4 days after infection. The data represent the viable GAS numbers in blood (top) or spleen suspension (bottom) samples.
