FtsH is critical for in vivo survival of S. aureus during infection. (A) The role of FtsH in staphylococcal virulence during murine infection. The test strains were grown in TSB until exponential growth phase; then test strains were administered into eight mice via retro-orbital route. The significance of the survival was analyzed by Log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test. **p ≤ 0.01.The experiment was repeated, and similar results were observed. (B) The role of FtsH in the survival/growth of S. aureus during murine infection. At day 4 post infection, eight mice were killed, and the kidneys were harvested and ground. The colony forming unit (CFU) of S. aureus in the ground kidneys was measured by serial dilution method on tryptic soy agar. The detection limit is indicated by a dashed line.***p ≤ 0.001 by two-tailed Student’s t-test.
