Intravenous mouse infection model. Mice were passively immunized with the sera raised against DHG-PpiC (triangles) and DHG-SagA (squares) conjugates and challenged with Enterococcus faecalis type 2 and Enterococcus faecium 11236/1. After 48 hours of challenge, mice were euthanized, and their kidneys and livers were removed to assess viable counts. A and B, Viable counts in mice livers and kidneys challenged with E. faecalis type 2, respectively. C, Viable counts in mice livers challenged with E. faecium 11236/1. Each point represents the bacterial counts from a single mouse. Bars indicate the median number of colony-forming units (CFU) per gram of organ for the group. Statistical analysis was done by 1-way analysis of variance with the Dunnett post hoc test for comparison of the animals immunized with the antibodies raised against the DHG-protein conjugates to the control animals immunized with normal rabbit serum (NRS; circles). Horizontal bars represent geometric means. *P < .05, **P < .01, ***P < .001, and ****P < .0001.
