Figure 7From: Lipoteichoic acids influence cell shape and bacterial division of Streptococcus suis serotype 2, but play a limited role in the pathogenesis of the infectionPresence of LTA is not critical for S. suis systemic virulence and blood persistence following intraperitoneal inoculation. Survival (A, C) and blood bacterial burden at 12 h post-infection (B, D) of C57BL/6 mice following intraperitoneal inoculation of the S. suis wild-type P1/7 strain (black) and ΔltaS mutant strain (blue). Data represent survival curves (A, C) (n = 15) or geometric mean (B, D) (n = survived mice at each time point).Back to article page
