Expansion of GFP-positive cells in the BM Ly6C subpopulation and persistence of B. pseudomallei in the bone marrow. At the indicated times after infection, the changes in the numbers of Ly6C⁺CD62L⁺GFP⁺, Ly6C⁺CD31⁺GFP⁺, Ly6C⁺CCR2⁺GFP⁺ and Ly6C⁺CX₃ CR1⁺GFP⁺ cells (A) and cultivated B. pseudomallei (B) in the BM of bacteremic (circles) and non-bacteremic (triangles) mice were determined. No bacteremic mouse was found on d 30 post-infection. The (*) symbol indicates p < 0.05 (ANOVA and Tukey HSD test).
