Figure 2

Pilus-1 expression rates measured in nasopharyngeal washes (a) or pharyngeal tissues (b).

Combination of at least two experiments carried out under the same conditions. Each circle represents the value for a single mouse. Horizontal bars represent the geometric mean for the group with 95% confidence interval. Geometric mean for the first input and geometric means for day 1, 2 and 7 outputs are connected by a dotted line to highlight the changes of pilus-1 expression rates in the course of colonization. The P values, evaluated by two-tailed Mann-Whitney U test, are indicated on the bottom of each graph.
