Fig. 4: Bacterial load per living fly after injection with one of four bacterial species.
From: Decomposing virulence to understand bacterial clearance in persistent infections
a–d Flies were injected with either Enterobacter cloacae, Providencia burhodogranariea, Lactococcus lactis or Pseudomonas entomophila and then homogenised at between 1- and 35-days post injection. The injection dose legend for all panels is shown in d where CFU denotes colony forming units. The arrows on the y-axis indicate the approximate injection doses. Each data point is the bacterial load of one fly. Reducing data points on the x-axis are due to increasing fly death over time. Sample sizes can be found in Supplementary Table 3a–d. Black lines show geometric means.
