No alterations in basal corticosterone levels were observed in M. avium infected compared to non-infected mice. Basal serum corticosterone levels were measured in Balb/c (A), C57BL/6 (B) and CD1 (C) mice non-infected and infected with M. avium (4wpi). Each bar represents the mean + SEM from 15 to 16 mice per group from 1 of 2 independent experiments.
