A Time Course for Susceptibility to Staphylococcus aureus Respiratory Infection during Influenza in a Swine Model
Figure 5
Bacterial load of MRSA in dual-infected pigs. Tissue were collected from lung (a), mediastinal lymph node (b), or spleen (c) of animals coinfected with IAV and MRSA. All tissues were homogenized, serially diluted, and plated on media selective for methicillin-resistant staphylococci. Additional biochemical tests selected for PVL + MRSA. Average CFU per mL is depicted for dual-infected animals (). Error bars represent the standard error.
