Survival of <i>E. faecalis</i> OG1RF, Δ<i>rsh</i>, Δ<i>relQ</i>, and Δ<i>rsh</i>Δ<i>relQ</i> in subdermal abscesses at (A) early and (B) late time points post-inoculation.
<p>Subdermal abscess infections with the four strains were carried out as described in the text and in the legend of <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0115839#pone-0115839-g001" target="_blank">Fig. 1</a>. Results are reported as percent survival with the 0 hour time point set to 100%. Values and error bars represent the mean ± SEM of n = 2 rabbits. Data from the same rabbits were separated into panels (A) and (B) for clarity. (A) Student’s t-test comparing Δ<i>rsh</i> and Δ<i>rsh</i>Δ<i>relQ</i>, α = 0.1: red #, p = 0.08; red ∧, p = 0.06. (B) One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s Multiple Comparison post-hoc test: black *, p<0.05 for OG1RF versus Δ<i>relQ</i>; black **, p<0.01 for OG1RF versus Δ<i>rsh</i>Δ<i>relQ</i>; blue *, p<0.05 for Δ<i>rsh</i> versus Δ<i>rsh</i>Δ<i>relQ</i>.</p
