Figure 10: Pneumococcal strains lacking shp144 or having modified shp144 are less able to colonise nasopharynx.

Figure 10:

Mice were challenged with approximately 2.5×105 CFU pneumococci. Infected mice were culled at day 0 (A) and day 7 (B), and CFU/ml of bacteria were calculated by serial dilutions of nasopharyngeal wash. Each bar represents the mean of data collected from five mice. Error bars show the standard error of the mean. Significance changes in bacterial counts are compared with wild type and complemented strains using one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. (*P<0.05, **P<0.01, ‘ns’ not significant).
