Control of Intracellular Francisella tularensis by Different Cell Types and the Role of Nitric Oxide

Table 1

Comparison of F. tularensis colonisation of cell lines at 30 minutes of exposure at an MOI of 10 : 1 and 120 minutes at MOI of 1 : 1, measured in cfu/mL. Under either condition in either cell line Schu S4 infected in significantly higher numbers (𝑃<0.005 by Student’s t-test). Values are the means from at least three independent experiments.
