Effect of concentration and activity of secreted SLO on virulence in vivo. (A) Concentration of streptolysin (ng/ml) and (B) haemolytic activity in infection doses of emm type 1.0 (isolate 101,910) and emm type 32.2 (isolate 112,327), when prepared in 1 ml of PBS, incubated at room temperature for 30 min. (C) Kaplan Meier survival plots representing survival of CD1 mice (n = 10 per group) when intravenously infected (108 CFU) with isolates 101,910 and 112,327, and 112,327 bacteria re-suspended in supernatant from 101,910 challenge dose (112,327 S) or 101,910 bacteria re-suspended in supernatant from 112,327 challenge dose (101,910 S). (D) Bacterial burden in blood 24 h after infection with isolates 101,910 and 112,327 and swapped supernatant isolates as above. **p value < 0.01, ***p < 0.005 and ****p value < 0.001 when analysed using a one-way ANOVA followed by a Kruskall-Wallis multiple comparisons test.
