Fig 3. Comparing C. muridarum distribution in genital tract among three different mouse strains.
Groups of C57BL/6J (panel a, n = 5), Balb/c (b, n = 5) and CBA/1J (c, n = 5) female mice were each inoculated with 2 x 105 IFUs at the right uterine horn distal region (RUd, as indicated with a red arrow) and 3 days after the inoculation, segments of the genital tract tissues were harvested as listed along the X-axis, from RO, RUd, RUm, RUp, CV, LUp, LUm, RUd to LO; tissue designations are indicated in Fig 2 legend 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 between RO and RUd (**p<0.01, Wilcoxon) and between LUd and LO (**p<0.01, Wilcoxon) in all 3 mouse strains.
