From: Macrophage and Galleria mellonella infection models reflect the virulence of naturally occurring isolates of B. pseudomallei, B. thailandensis and B. oklahomensis

Figure 4

Virulence and intracellular survival of Burkholderia strains in Galleria mellonella larvae. Groups of 10 insect larvae were challenged with 100 cfu of different strains of Burkholderia as described in the method section. A) Percentage of surviving larvae at 24 hrs post infection. B) Number of bacteria present inside the haemocoel at 20 hrs post infection (calculated as cfu/ml). In both panels, results are shown as means and standard error of the mean of three independent experiments. B. pseudomallei = black bars; B. thailandensis = white bars and B. oklahomensis strains = grey bars. ND = not detected.
