FIG. 6.
CNF1 contributes to bacterial survival in a mixed infection. Time courses of mixed infections with CP9lacZ and CP9cnf1 are shown. The bacterial strains were mixed in equal numbers, and C3H/HeOuJ mice received 2.0 × 108 CFU. Mice were sacrificed 6 h, 2 days, 4 days, 7 days, and 9 days after infection, and colony counts were performed on collected samples. (A) Mean bacterial numbers in the urine of infected mice. (B) Mean bacterial numbers in the bladders of infected mice. (C) Mean bacterial numbers in the kidneys of infected mice. ——, CP9lacZ; –––, CP9cnf1. Each point represents the mean number of CFU per sample for three mice.
