Figure 1. S.Tm^avir infection of Cybb^−/− mice leads to pathogen growth in the LP and enteropathy.

Cybb ^−/− mice (C57BL/6 background) and C57BL/6 control mice were pretreated with streptomycin and infected for 4 days with S.Tm^avir. The bacterial loads in the gut lumen (A), the LP (red (B)) or the epithelial cells of the cecum (blue (B)), the degree of mucosal inflammation (C) and bacterial loads in the mLNs (D), livers (E) and spleens (F) were analyzed. *: p<0.05; **: p<0.01; ns: not significant; red line: median; dashed line: minimal detectable value.
