Fig. 5From: Overexpression of Enterococcus faecalis elr operon protects from phagocytosisOverexpression of elr operon in E. faecalis increases bacterial dissemination in mice. E. faecalis organ burden in 10 mice were infected intraperitoneally with ~3 x 108 (a) or ~1 x 108 (b) CFU of each strain. The results represent the means and standard deviations of the number of bacteria able to colonize the spleen and liver at 24 h postinfectionBack to article page
