Pathogenic translocation in C. jejuni infected conventionally colonized NOD2^−/− mice. Wildtype (WT; white bars) and NOD2^−/− mice (black bars) were perorally infected with C. jejuni strain 81–176 on three consecutive days (d0, 1 and 2). Translocation of viable pathogens were assessed in ex vivo biopsies derived from mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN), spleen, liver and kidney at day 14 post infection by culture. Relative abundances of viable pathogens in respective compartments are shown (bars; in %) and numbers of mice harboring C. jejuni out of the total number of analyzed animals (in parentheses) are indicated. Data shown are representative for two independent experiments
