Figure 6: Shematic view of what happens locally and in the bloodstream during cutaneous anthrax infection.
From: In vivo dynamics of active edema and lethal factors during anthrax
The sheme (A) and the sheme (B) resume data obtained in mice infected with the 9602WT-lux strain and the 9602P-lux strain respectively, in the inoculated ear and in the plasma for EF, LF concentrations (mean, pg/ear and pg/ml in the ear and in the plasma respectively), the ratio LF/EF (mean) and for the CFU (mean, log10 CFU/ear and CFU/ml in the ear and in the plasma respectively), during time course of infection.
