Figure 2. Number of C. burnetii DNA copies in lung, plasma, liver and spleen after aerosol infection with C. burnetii in immunocompetent BALB/c mice.

Figure 2

The mean ± SD numbers of genomic equivalents per gram of tissue or ml of plasma are shown of 8 infected mice per time point. Uninfected mice were negative at every time point in all tissues. Samples that were negative were assigned a value of 200 genomic equivalents per g (or ml). This is the limit of detection of the assay. P values were calculated by one-sample t-test with a hypothetical value of 0. * P<0.05, ** P<0.01, *** P<0.001.
