Fig. 1

Six to eight female C3H/HeJ mice were infected cervico-vaginally with 1 × 105 IFU of the following C. trachomatis serovar D strains: (A) DP+CT135+, n=6; (B) DP+CT135−, n=8; (C) DP−CT135+, n=6; and (D) DP−CT135−, n=8. At days 3, 7, 10, 14, and weekly intervals thereafter cervico-vaginal specimens were collected and recoverable IFU enumerated by titration on monolayers of McCoy cells. The results show the mean chlamydial burden and duration of infection for each group over the entire period with standard deviations for each time point indicated.
