Figure 1. Long-term persistence of S. aureus in kidneys of C57BL/6 mice.

Figure 1

  • A.–E. Bacterial burdens in the kidneys (A), joints (B), heart (C), liver (D) and lungs (E) of mice intravenously inoculated with 7 × 107 CFU of S. aureus strain SH1000. Each point represents the mean ± SD of five mice. Results are one representative of three independent experiments.
  • B. Changes in body weight of S. aureus-infected mice. Results are reported as the average weight in grams ± SD of five mice.
  • C. Growth of normal (white arrow) and SCVs (black arrow) S. aureus isolated from the kidneys of infected mice at day 28 after bacterial inoculation.
  • D. Levels of IL-6 in serum S. aureus-infected mice at progressive times after bacterial inoculation. Each point represents the mean ± SD of five mice per group of three independent experiments.
