Figure 4. TonB mutants are impaired in their ability to colonize the chick gut.

Figure 4

Panel A: Chick colonization studies with NCTC11168 and selected mutants. Five chicks per group were infected with C. jejuni. The data points indicate the level of colonization in each chick with the black bar representing the median and the dashed line the detection limit. Strains that showed significant differences as compared to the wildtype (p<0.05) are indicated with an asterisk. Panel B: Competitive indices of each mutant as compared to the wild type control in competitive association studies with chicks and in vitro. Strains that showed significant differences are indicated with an asterisk (p<0.05).
