Fig 5. ROD21 improves the intracellular survival of S. Typhimurium on liver.

C57BL/6 mice were i.g. infected with 1x10⁵ CFU of S. Typhimurium-WT (black circles) or S. Typhimurium::ROD21 (empty circles). At 48 and 72 hpi extra and intracellular loads were evaluated on small intestine (A), colon (B), mLN (C), blood (D), spleen (E) and liver (F). The assay included 6 mice at all times post infection. Comparisons of bacterial loads between different times post-infection were analyzed by 2-way ANOVA with Tukey´s post-test α = 0.05.
