FIGURE 8.
Acinetobacter baumannii sepsis infection in BALB/c mice. Mice (n = 5 per group) were intraperitoneally infected with 1.25 × 106 CFU of II-a, 5.5 × 106 CFU of II-f and 2.25 × 106 CFU of II-h A. baumannii IC II lineage strains. (A) Survival of mice; (B) bacterial load, estimated in the spleen post-mortem; (C) bacterial load in the spleen after 48 h of infection. Survived mice were sacrificed and spleens were tested for bacterial loads. Black lines in (B,C) represent an average, error bars represent standard deviations.
