Fig 6. Competitive index in vivo of wild type O104:H4 and ΔlpfA1 strains.

Fig 6

Six to eight week old CD-1 ICR mice where infected with 1x109 O104:H4 2011 c3494 wild type (n = 12) and ΔlpfA1 (n = 12) totaling 2x109 CFU. Collections were done at 24 (solid circles), 48 (solid squares), 72 (solid triangles), and 96 h (inverted triangles). Fecal shedding (A), ceca (B), and large intestine (C) recoveries of both strains are expressed as Competitive Index (CI = % ΔlpfA1 recovered / % wild type recovered). Error bars indicated SEM of 4 mice.
