(A) Average clinical scores of keratitis at 24 and 48 hours post-infection caused by parent (n = 11) or PLY-deficient isogenic mutant strain (n = 17). Pathology of the corneas was evaluated with slit lamp examination and the average clinical scores are provided. P = 0.023 at 24 hours post-infection and p = 0.0006 at 48 hours post-infection. (B) Average log10 CFU recovered from the corneas infected with the parent strain (n = 10) or the mutant strain (n = 16) at 48 hours post-infection. P = 0.007. Parent = K1263, Mutant = K1263ΔPLY. (*) indicates a significant difference between the scores. Scores are reported as the mean scores ± standard errors of the means.
