Figure 2. — Bb strains varied in their ability for early colonization, bacteremia induction and persistence at tissues in robins and white-footed (WF) mice. (a-b) Robins (four per group) and WF mice (five per group) were intradermally inoculated with indicated Bb strains or BSK-II medium (uninfect.). The inoculation site of skin (inoc. site) was collected at 1 day post injection (dpi) to determine bacterial burdens by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). (c-r) The bacterial loads in blood and tissues at indicated time points post nymph feeding (dpf) determined by qPCR. Data represent geometric mean ± geometric s.d. Significance (p ≤ 0.05) from the uninfected group (*) or between groups (#) is indicated.
