Figure 1From: Piglet innate immune response to Streptococcus suis colonization is modulated by the virulence of the strainRectal temperature before and after S. suis intranasal inoculation. Mean and standard deviation of rectal temperatures of the piglets before and after intranasal inoculation with S. suis strains T15 (non-virulent, blue circles) or S10 (virulent, red circles) (n = 8 from -2 to 1 day post-inoculation [dpi]; n = 4 at 2 and 3 dpi, for both strains). A group of piglets was inoculated with PBS as control (white squares; n = 4 for all time points). * Statistically significant (P < 0.05) difference between S10 and PBS groups.Back to article page
