Experiment no. | LD50 (CFU/mL) | |
---|---|---|
WT | ΔhmgA | |
1 | 1.4 × 108 | > 3.1 × 108 |
2 | 2.1 × 108 | 4.1 × 108 |
3 | 2.4 × 108 | 5.8 × 108 |
4 | 1.9 × 108 | 5.4 × 108 |
Mean ± SD | 1.9 ± 0.4 × 108 | 5.1 ± 0.9 × 108 |
Four independent LD50 experiments were performed. Mean values of LD50 between the WT and ΔhmgA were significantly different (P < 0.05, student's t-test).
