Fig. 2From: Rapid killing of Capnocytophaga canimorsus and Capnocytophaga cynodegmi by human whole blood and serum is mediated via the complement systemEffect of inoculum size on serum killing activity against Cani (a), Cyno (b) and a serum sensitive Salmonella strain (SL3769). The serum concentration was 10 % and the time of incubation was 180 min. Experiments were performed three times in duplicate, lowest level of detection was 1000 CFU/ml. Error bars designate standard error of the mean (SEM). Student’s t test was used to test for statistical significance. NHS normal human serum.
