Susceptibility of wild type and sodC -mutants strains to hydrogen peroxide. Results are expressed as percent survival after 1 h incubation at 37°C. The percent survival was calculated for each strain by dividing the number of CFU/ml obtained from incubation in PBS alone by the number of CFU/ml obtained from incubation in 250 μM hydrogen peroxide. Values are means ± SD of at least sixteen independent experiments. A Student's t test analysis showed that the differences in survival between the wild type and the mutant strains were highly significant (*p < 0.01).
