Virulence evaluation of M. tuberculosis strains in different mouse infection models.
Number of colony forming units (CFU) 3 weeks days after intravenous infection with M. tuberculosis WT and mutant strains in (A) lungs; and (B) spleens of SCID mice. (C) Panel C shows the in vitro growth characteristics of the same panel of strains as above, in C57BL/6 mice 6 weeks after infection. Results shown are representative of 2 independent experiments.
