Phagocytosis rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae wildtype strains and their mutants. The percentage of neutrophils harboring fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-stained bacteria was considered to be the phagocytosis rate. a STL43 serotype O1:K1 wild type, STL43Δwzy K-antigen-deficient mutant, STL43ΔwbbO O-antigen-deficient mutant. (asterisk) STL43 vs STL43Δwzy (P < .001). (dragger) STL43 vs STL43ΔwbbO (P = .006). b TSGH69 serotype O1:K2 wild type, TSGH69Δwzy K-antigen-deficient mutant, TSGH69ΔwbbO O-antigen-deficient mutant. (asterisk) TSGH69 vs TSGH69Δwzy (P < .001). Chi square test statistical analysis was carried out for at least six successive tests in each isolate. The values are the mean ± standard deviation
