Carriage of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in the Upper Respiratory Tract of Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Children: An Observational Study
Figure 4
M. pneumoniae DNA loads in the longitudinal study.
This figure shows the bacterial DNA loads in the study participants of the asymptomatic group (A) (open squares) and the symptomatic group (B) (filled triangles) during the follow-up study. Each point represents one visit of one participant and is connected by a line to the point representing the next visit. On the y-axis the bacterial DNA load (genomic copy number per milliliter) is shown. On the x-axis the consecutive visits are represented.
