BALB/c bacterial loads and survival.

<p>Immunized and control mice were infected with 4.0×10⁶ cfu (4.14× LD₅₀) of the ATCC 19606 strain. (A) Twelve hours post-infection spleen, kidney and lung bacterial loads were determined (n = 8 mice/IB010 vaccine group; n = 7 mice/control group; n = 6 mice/ATC 19606 vaccine group). Data points represent bacterial loads from individual mice, and horizontal lines represent median values from groups of mice. * p<0.05 compared to control mice. (B) Vaccinated and control mice were infected with 4.0×10⁶ cfu (4.14× LD₅₀) of the ATCC 19606 strain and survival was monitored for seven days. (n = 7 mice/IB010 vaccine group; n = 8 mice/control group); n = 8 mice/ATC 19606 vaccine group) * p<0.05 compared to control mice.
