Spontaneous bacterial infection of the bone marrow of normal birth weight or fetal growth restricted preterm pigs, reared for 9 days, receiving either antibiotics (NBW-AB, n = 22 and FGR-AB, n = 8) or not (NBW-CON, n = 78 and FGR-CON, n = 19). (A) Incidence of aerobically cultured bacterial growth in the bone marrow. (B) Density of aerobically cultured bacteria in the bone marrow. (C) Incidence of anaerobically cultured bacterial growth in the bone marrow. (D) Density of anaerobically cultured bacteria in the bone marrow. (E) Distribution of dominant aerobically cultured bacterial strains. (A,C) Presented as fraction of animals with bacterial growth. (B,D) Presented as means with corresponding standard error. (E) Each bacterial group, shown as a fraction of the whole. *: Difference between either NBW-CON and FGR-CON or NBW-AB and FGR-AB; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
