FIG. 2.

Disease progression in A. fumigatus-infected DBA/2J mice monitored by percent survival, CFU, and qPCR analysis. Mice infected with 9.8 × 10⁵ CFU of A. fumigatus were monitored for percent survival (○; n = 60, 23 censored animals), log₁₀ CFU per gram of kidney (□), or log₁₀ CE per gram of kidney (▴). SDA plates were used for CFU enumeration. CFU and CE are the mean ± standard error of three mice, with the exception of CE for days 4 and 6 (n = 5).
