Male host response to lung-specific delivery of <i>B. pseudomallei</i>.

<p>Groups of 3 male albino C57BL/6J mice were challenged with increasing doses of luminescent <i>B. pseudomallei</i> strain JW280 by IMIT infection. Mice were monitored for 14 days (336 hr) for disease progression and euthanized at the onset of moribund disease presentation. Survival curves are used to present the dose-dependent response of the host to increasing bacterial challenges. The MTTD was calculated for groups with ≥50% mortality, as indicated.
