Figure 2From: Use of in vivo induced antigen technology to identify genes from Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida that are specifically expressed during infection of the rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykissRelative abundance of Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. s almonicida in spleen of rainbow trout at various time-points. The relative bacterial number was calculated by comparing the number of copies of bacterial 16S rRNA to that of the host’ β-actin. The fish had been infected intra-peritoneally with a solution of 103 CFU of A. salmonicida in 0.9 M phosphate buffered saline. Fish were sampled at 1, 6, 12, 48 hours and 1 week post-infection. Each value represents the mean of triplicate independent biological samples and error bars indicate standard deviation.Back to article page
