|---|---|---|
| 30 min | 24 h | |
| SH1000 | 8.1 ± 3.5 (a) | 102 ± 66 (e) |
| JS1078 (A−) | 2.4 ± 1.0 (b) | 0.3 ± 0.2 (f) |
| JS2072 (B−) | 2.9 ± 1.1 (c) | 5.7 ± 7.5 (g) |

BALB/c mice were intravenously infected with SH1000 or fnb mutant strains (5 × 107 CFU/head). After 30 min or 24 h, kidneys were removed and the number of bacteria in each kidney was analyzed. P < 0.05 for a versus d and c versus d, P < 0.01 for a versus c and e versus g, P < 0.005 for a versus b, and P < 0.0001 for e versus h.
