Reduction in Mycobacterial growth and Hb concentration following BCG vaccination and successive bleeds in Rhesus macaques. (a) The MGIT assay was performed using BCG Pasteur and (b) Hb measured pre- and post-BCG vaccination using whole blood from 7 Rhesus macaques. Points represent the mean of duplicates from individual animals and bars represent the mean values with SEM. Shapes represent different time-points. Having passed a normality test, a repeated measures ANOVA was performed followed by a Bonferroni post-test where ^*represents a p-value of <0.05, ^**represents a p value of <0.005, and ^****represents a p-value of <0.0001. Δ log₁₀ CFU = (log₁₀ CFU of sample − log₁₀ CFU of control).
