Presence of the lipoprotein Lmb is important for S. suis systemic virulence and blood persistence following intraperitoneal inoculation. Survival (A) and blood bacterial burden at 12, 24 and 48 h post-infection (B) of C57BL/6 mice following intraperitoneal inoculation of the S. suis virulent wild-type P1/7 strain (dark blue) and Δlmb mutant strain (light blue). Data represent survival curves (A) (n = 15) or geometric mean (B) (n = survived mice at each time point). *(p < 0.05) indicates a significant difference between survival or blood bacterial burden of mice infected either with the wild-type or the Δlmb mutant strain.
