Fig. 7. Spatial resolution of orally infected luciferase reporter strains in mice.
Mice (n=3) infected with a green renilla luciferase reporter strain were imaged from the top and side to localize the quadrants of infection. The arrow in the X-ray image depicts the position of the mandibular molars. The presented images are of a single representative mouse in which the sites of colonization can be localized to both of the mandibular molars.
