Murine colonization and ascension were determined five days post infection after an intranasal challenge with 107 pneumococci. Changes in colonization (A) and ascension (B) in the absence of potD were not significantly different. Five mice were infected with each strain, and two independent experiments were performed. Error bars denote standard error of the mean.
