Bacterial density in a the spleen and lymph nodes of mice after intravenous infection with S. aureus (CMC-524, ICH-629 and ICH-757) and b blood following intravenous injection of S. aureus in mice. Spleen and lymph nodes were processed as described in methods. Results were expressed as numbers of bacterial CFU per milligram of spleen or lymph node tissue. The values are the mean ± SD from three different experiments and each experimental group contained at least six mice. Blood samples were collected at different time period from the mice after infection with S. aureus and plated into agar for 48 h. The values are the mean ± SD from three different experiments and each experimental group consist at least six mice
