Figure 4

Effect of mutation of siaP , siaR and crp on bacterial counts of H. influenzae strains from the middle ear of chinchillas when compared to wild type strains. Animals were inoculated with between 60 and 100 organisms directly into the middle ear bullae. Each data point represents the average number of organisms ml-1 of exudate or washings from the middle ear for typically four animals at different times (days) following inoculation. Shown are wild type and isogenic strains for: panel (a), NTHi 486; panel (b), Rd; panel (c), NTHi 375. The lower detection limit is a bacterial count of 2.00.
