Figure 8. Over-expression of SepA affects virulence in mice.

Figure 8

A and B. Spleen colonization at 15 days post-infection of mice intraperiteonally infected with the wild type (Ba wt), sepA mutant (Ba ΔsepA), complemented (Ba ΔsepA(sepA)) or SepA over-expressing (Ba wt(sepA)) strains. Bacterial load was determined as indicated in Experimental procedures. *P<0.002. C. Western-blot with a monoclonal anti-O-antigen antibody (M84) against whole bacteria showing that neither the mutant nor the over-expressing strains are rough.
