Chlamydia inclusion-forming units (IFUs) obtained from vaginal cultures for control (● or ◯, ), CL-55-treated (■ or □, ), and azithromycin-treated (▲ or △, ) mice. Shown are the IFU counts for vaginal cultures obtained at the 3rd, 7th, 11th, and 14th days. The median number of IFUs is indicated by the horizontal line. Culture-negative (◯, □, and △) mice and culture-positive (●, ■, and ▲) mice are shown in each group.
