From: Establishment of persistent enteric mycobacterial infection following streptomycin pre-treatment
Comparison of a single dose of 108 CFU strep-R MAP and 2 consecutive doses of 109 CFU strep-R MAP. A Mice were pre-treated with 20 mg of streptomycin. The following day, mice were given either 108 or 109 CFU strep-R MAP. Mice that were inoculated with the higher dose were given a second dose of 109 CFU strep-R MAP 24-hours later. Mice were euthanized 48-hours, 4-weeks, or 8-weeks post-infection and the organs were assessed for CFUs. B–D Strep-R MAP CFUs were compared between the lower and higher dose infection strategies in the large intestine (B), small intestine (C), and MLNs (D) (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001)
