Entry and intracellular growth of Map isolates and the reference strain K10 in ovine MDMs.

aUptake was calculated as the percentage of the inoculated bacteria that was recovered from each cell lysate at day 0.bValues shown are means of three repeated experiments ± standard deviations (SD).cDay 0 = 2 h post infection.dGrowth changes (n-fold) were calculated by dividing the number of log10 CFU at day 7 by that at day 0 for each Map isolate.eIndicates a significant change between day 0 and day 7 (P
