Zur contributes to dissemination to the liver during A. baumannii pneumonia. WT or S100A9^−/− mice were coinfected intranasally with WT and Δzur::Km strains. At 36 h postinfection, bacterial organ burdens were determined in the lungs and livers. (A) Graphs depict the competitive index of the Δzur::Km to the WT strain and are consolidated from three separate experiments. (B) Graphs depict CFU/g (log₁₀) of the Δzur::Km (light gray bars, squares) or WT (dark gray bars, circles) strain and are consolidated from three separate experiments. Statistical significance was determined by the Mann-Whitney nonparametric test. *, P ≤ 0.05; **, P ≤ 0.0005; ***, P ≤ 0.0001.
