Antibiotic-resistant mutants fail to colonize the host. (a) Colonization of nasal cavities of C57BL/6 mice 7 days after being inoculated with 150, 1500 or 15 000 cfu of B. bronchiseptica RB50 WT (circles) or the p1 antibiotic-resistant mutant EmR1 (squares). The dotted line represents the limit of detection. (b) Colonization profiles of B. bronchiseptica WT (RB50), antibiotic-resistant p1 mutants (EmR1–EmR4) and Bvg (RB54) in mouse nasal cavities 7 days after being inoculated with 15 000 cfu of each strain. ***P <0.0001 (P values of <0.05 were considered statistically significant). The dotted line represents the limit of detection.
