Figure 3

Survival of Salmonella strains in avian whole blood. Colony forming units of S. Enteritidis and S. Gallinarum were determined in the inoculum (0 min) and from samples taken every 30 min up to 240 min after inoculation with whole blood from WLA chickens (A) and R11 chickens (B). Data of six different donors per chicken line analysed in independent experiments is presented as mean and SD. + indicates a significant difference compared to 0 min (p ≤ 0.05), $ indicates a significant difference compared to S. Gallinarum (p ≤ 0.05). Colour represents the respective pathogen: Green: S. Enteritidis, Red: S. Gallinarum.
