Effect of the hda1Δ mutant strain on virulence as assessed by the murine inhalational model of infection. (A) Ten C57BL/6 female mice were intranasally inoculated with the wild-type, hda1Δ, or hda1∆ + HDA1 strain to establish an infection. Animal survival was monitored for 40 days. Statistical test: Kaplan-Meier method. p < 0.0001 (B) Lungs and (C) brains of infected animals were harvested 14 days post infection, and quantitative cultures per mg tissue were performed. Statistical test: One-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s posttest. (D) Histopathological analysis of H&E-stained lung tissue from animals infected with the indicated strains after 14 days of infection.
