Lethality of ICR mouse for intraperitoneal inoculation with APEC isolates and human ExPEC strains.

aNegative control for mouse sepsis model.bPositive control for mouse sepsis model.cData mean the number of dead mouse/total number of mouse tested.dData mean the number of mouse from which the APEC/ExPEC strain was reisolated/total number of mouse tested.eMean of lesion scores (1 = healthy, 2 = minimally ill, 3 = moderately ill, 4 = severely ill, 5 = dead) for 10 mouse tested.fValues are not significantly different (P≥0.05 by Fisher's exact test) with the negative control.Lethality of ICR mouse for intraperitoneal inoculation with APEC isolates and human ExPEC strains.
