Persistence of M. bovis BCG and its auxotroph counterpart, MYC1552, in mice. BALB/c mice were infected intravenously with 107 viable units of either M. bovis BCG or MYC1552, and the persistence of bacteria in three organs was measured over time. Each value represents the geometric mean + SEM obtained with five different mice.
