Figure 2From: Serological profiles in nursery piglets colonized with Staphylococcus aureusMedian fluorescence intensity (MFI) value reflecting IgG levels for 33 S. aureus antigens in 30 piglets classified per litter at 24 days of age. Each dot represents a single piglet, green squares represent litter 1, blue diamonds represent litter 2, red triangles represent litter 3 and orange spheres represent litter 4. Median IgG levels are indicated by horizontal lines. *Significant with independent-sample median test across animals grouped by litter at 24 days of age (α-toxin, FnbpB, SED, SSL1, SSL3 and SSL5, p < 0.001; ClfA, ClfB, ETA, HlgB, IsdA, IsdH, LukE, LukF, SdrE, SEJ, SSL9 and SSL11, p < 0.005; ETB, LukD, p < 0.01; SasG, SdrD, SEC and TSST-1, p < 0.05); † Unable to compute for SEQ.Back to article page
