Survival of sRNA deletion mutants in pig blood. (A) Survival of wild-type stain P1/7 and sRNA deletion mutants in pig blood. Wild-type stain P1/7 and sRNA deletion mutants were tested for survival using the ex vivo pig blood model over a time course of 4 h. The survival results were expressed as a fold change relative to the level of wild-type strain P1/7. (B) sRNA mutants and wild-type strain P1/7 were also characterized for their growth in THB at 37°C under the same experimental conditions. Growth rate was calculated as CFU at 4 h/CFU at 0 h. Statistical analyses were performed using one-way ANOVA and Dunnett's multiple comparisons test. (*) P< 0.05, (**) P< 0.01.
