Kinetics of extrapulmonary spread of tuberculosis over the first 28 days post-infection in (A) mice and (B) guinea pigs infected with approximately 100 colony-forming units (CFU) by aerosol. In both mice and guinea pigs, bacteria first spread from the lungs to the spleen at between three and fourteen days post-infection. The kinetics of extrapulmonary spread of tuberculosis in mice and guinea pigs are very similar. Data shown are the means and standard deviations of five animals per group.
