Multilocus Sequence Typing and rtxA Toxin Gene Sequencing Analysis of Kingella kingae Isolates Demonstrates Genetic Diversity and International Clones
Figure 4
Disease-free survival curve of three groups of 16 juvenile-rats after intraperitoneal inoculation with 3 different isolates of Kingella kingae (ATCC 23330: carriage, HAN: osteoarthritis and N10770: bacteremia).
*: P = 0.001 vs. ATCC 23330 by Log-rank Test; **: P<0.001 vs. N10770 by Log-rank Test; †: P<0.001 vs. HAN by Log-rank Test.
