(B) Pneumococcal colonization of index and contact mice of index-CSE group (n = 8) and the contact-CSE group (n = 8) transmission studies. Each symbol represents the colonization density in nasal lavages for individual pups (CFU/ml), with median values indicated by a bar. CSE group (circles), PBS group (square); index mice (closed symbols), contact mice (open symbols). Dotted line indicates the limit of detection (666 CFU/ml).
