S. aureus Reynolds is proliferated faster. Mice (n=4–6 mice per group/time point) were injected with either agarose-laden S. aureus strain RN6390- or S. aureus strain Reynolds-beads (104CFU) as described in the Materials and methods. Animals were euthanized at the indicated time points and the number of viable organisms associated with brain abscesses was determined by quantitative culture. Titers are expressed as the mean log10 CFU per milliliter of brain abscess homogenate (A). (B) mortality rates are determined as the percentages of dead mice to surviving mice at the indicated time points (n=20–25 mice per group). Significant differences in mortality rates between S. aureus RN6390- and Reynolds-infected mice are denoted with asterisks (**, p<0.001). Results are the mean (±SEM) of three independent experiments.
