Figure 5.

Virulence profile of the 30 investigated S. aureus ST398 isolates in G. mellonella. To profile the virulence of the investigated S. aureus ST398 strains, three independent G. mellonella infection experiments were performed. Per experiment, each investigated S. aureus ST398 strain was used to inoculate 10 G. mellonella larvae (30 larvae/strain in total). Each individual larva was inoculated with 2.5 × 105 CFUs of the respective S. aureus ST398 strain. Larval killing was assessed at 48 h post inoculation. All values are the mean ± the standard deviation of the three independent infection experiments.
