Figure 2.
Survival of NC101 is attenuated relative to NC101ΔibpAB in vivo, but not in vitro. (A) NC101 or NC101ΔibpAB were grown in LB under aerobic or anaerobic conditions and bacterial density was measured using OD600. Data are presented as the mean+/−SEM, n=3 cultures/strain. (B) Luminal bacterial concentrations in monoassociated WT and IL-10−/− mice. Data are means + SEM, n=5–6 mice/group, *p<0.05 relative to NC101-monoassociated mice.
