Bacteria loads in different mouse organs. Bacteria loads in (A) brain, (B) lung, (C) in spleen, and (D) in blood. Mice were inoculated intraperitoneally with 1 × 108 CFU of a 1:1 mixture of mid-log phase SC19 and ΔmnmE. The survival strains were enumerated by plating serial dilutions of the samples on selective plates. Data are the result of CFU/g or CFU/ml in different organs analyzed per sample ± SEM. Statistical significance was determined by two-tailed t-test (ns, p > 0.05; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001).
