Comparative growth of C. pneumoniae strains AO3 and AR39. a-c Recovered AO3 and AR39 from infected L929 cells (a, b) or BMDM (c). Cells were incubated at 35 °C and quantitative culture was carried out at the indicated time points, as described in the Methods. d, e Quantitative culture of AO3 and AR39 infected L929 (d) or BMDM (e) grown at 35 °C vs. 37 °C growth temperature. Cells were harvested at 48 hpi for L929 and 68 hpi for BMDM, and quantitative culture was carried out as described in the Methods. For panels a, b and d, the inoculum was 4x104 IFU (MOI 1:1). For panels c and e, the inoculum was 2x105 (MOI 5:1). Significance: *, p ≤ 0.05; ***, p ≤ 0.001; compared the recovered bacteria number of AO3 with AR39 in the same time point. Data is representative of 2-3 independent experiments
