Variations in the expression patterns of virulence determinants in murine models of BA and BM. The transcript levels of genes were normalized to those of the 16S rRNA gene, and results for the BA model were compared with those for the BM model. The S. aureus strains Newman (green bars) and XQ (orange bars) were analyzed. Results are from three independent experiments with 10 animals/experiment. P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01, ∗∗∗P < 0.001. (A) Adhesin genes, (B) toxin genes, and (C) immune evasion factor genes.
