Fig. 5. Survival in bacteremia as a function of the functional status of saeRS and sarA.

Fig. 5

Results shown are Kaplan-Meirer survival curves of mice infected by tail vein injection of 5 × 107 cfu of the indicated strains. Results observed with all strains other than LAC and its saeRSC and saeRSC/sarA mutants overlapped at 100% survival. Results observed with all sarA mutants were statistically significant by comparison to the parent strain irrespective of the functional status of saeRS, but they were not significant by comparison to each other. The difference between the parent strain and the saeRSC derivative was also significant.
