Figure 6. Opsonophagocytosis stimulated by antisera against SEB_31–48, SEB_97–114, SEB_133–150, SEB_193–210, SEB_205–222, SEB_247–261, and Polypeptides.

Opsonsonophagocytic killing of MRSA252 in the presence of complement was significantly higher for Polypeptides antisera than for individual immunodominant epitope protein antisera (P < 0.05). Percent killing was defined as the reduction in CFU/mL after 2 h compared with that at time zero. Error bars represent the SEM.
