Fig 2. Comparing C. muridarum recoveries from 9 different sections of the mouse genital tract following inoculation into the right bursa.

Fig 2

A group of 5 C57BL/6J female mice were each inoculated with 2 x 105 IFUs at the right bursa (as indicated with a red arrow) and 3 days after the inoculation, segments of the entire genital tract tissues were harvested as shown along with the X-axis, from the right oviduct/ovary (RO), right uterine horn distal region (RUd), middle (RUm) or the proximal region (RUp), cervico-vagina (CV), left side uterine horn proximal region (RUp), middle (LUm) and distal (RUd) to the left oviduct/ovary (LO). The tissues were homogenized for titrating infectious organisms as displayed in Log10 IFUs along the Y-Axis. Please note that significant differences in log10 IFUs were observed only between RO and RUd (*p<0.05, Wilcoxon) and between LUd and LO (**p<0.01, Wilcoxon) but not other adjacent tissue sections.
