In Vivo Capsular Switch in Streptococcus pneumoniae – Analysis by Whole Genome Sequencing
Figure 5
Phenotypic variation caused by a capsular switch from type 23 to type 3.
Scatter plots illustrating differences in mortality and the outcome of otologic disease for animals infected with WT strainsSV35-T23 (blue symbols) and SV36-T3 (green symbols) and recombinant strains SV35-T3* (red symbols) and SV36-T3*(purple symbols) strains. Parameters are – as defined in Table 4– days to morbid state (A), days to onset of moderate or worst otologic disease (B), and maximal otologic score (C).
