Figure 7
Bacterial burdens in the spleen (A) and liver (B) of S. Typhimurium, ∆clpA and ∆clpB infected birds. Half of the spleen and 100 mg of liver tissues were homogenized in PBS. One hundred microlitres of the homogenates were plated on HE agar plates. Colonies were counted following incubation of the plates. CFUs/spleen and CFUs/gm of liver were calculated. Data are presented as mean ± S.D. (n = 4) (**denotes p < 0.01, *denotes p < 0.05).
