Kaplan–Meier survival analysis of G. mellonella infection assays with S. aureus ATCC25923 (in blue), S. aureus RN4220 (in purple) and SAB-related S. aureus strains representative of clonal lineage CC121 (in green) and CC152 (in orange). The dotted lines indicate the 95% confidence intervals and the red dashed lines indicate the median survival time. Statistically significant differences between each strain and the reference strains S. aureus ATCC25923 and RN4220 (at corresponding inoculums) are identified as follows: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 and ****p < 0.0001.
