Figure 4. Division of clinical strains into fast and slow strains.

Figure 4

The strains were divided in fast (1, 2 and 3) and slow strains (4, 5, 6 and 7) according to their fitness in lung in the in vivo model IV (panel A). Panel B and C show the representation of fast and slow strains according to parameters determined from the cording area analysis: skewness (panel B), and proportion of single bacilli (brown circles) and of aggregates (bright red circles) (panel C). A significant difference was found between fast and slow strains for all three graphs.
