Figure 2. Immunodeficiency does not affect resistance to experimental infection with B. bronchiseptica.

Mice were inoculated with 5B. bronchiseptica in 5 µl of PBS and dissected 7 days later. The quantity of B. bronchiseptica recovered from the nasal cavity of individual mice is represented by dots. Box spans the interquartile range with the line denoting the median value. Whiskers span the 1st and 4th quartile. The limit of detection is marked by a dashed line. The proportion of infected mice in each group is listed above the box and whisker plot. Figure represents the cumulative results of 2 independent experiments for each mouse genotype.
