S. aureus counts and anti-S. aureus-specific IgA or IgG antibodies in milk a week after experimental intramammary infection of immunized and non-immunized cows. a Linear regression analysis showing a statistical correlation between S. aureus counts and OD value of S. aureus-specific IgA antibodies in infused quarters of non-immunized and nasal-immunized cows (six cows, 12 quarters, n = 12). b S. aureus-specific IgG antibodies. Black circles correspond to nasal immunization samples, white circles to non-immunization controls (three cows, six quarters, n = 6). P < 0.01 was considered highly statistically significant
