Table 2 Statistical significance of the mean maximum differences in otologic scores induced by 10 clinical NTHi strains (PittAA – PittJJ) following transbullar inoculation into chinchillas.

From: Virulence phenotypes of low-passage clinical isolates of Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae assessed using the chinchilla laniger model of otitis media

Days Post Inoculation

  1. * Due to extensive mortality beginning on day 5 associated with the more systemically virulent strains, there are many data points missing which artificially lowers the p value as evaluations could not be performed on dead animals.
