From: Establishment of persistent enteric mycobacterial infection following streptomycin pre-treatment
Comparison of the infection model with MAH. To determine how infection outcomes would compare using an environmental mycobacterium, the same infection strategy was repeated using strep-R MAH. A C57BL/6 mice were given 20 mg of streptomycin followed by 2 consecutive doses of strep-R MAH 24-hours apart. Mice were euthanized 48-hours, 4-, 8-, 12-, and 24-weeks post-infection and organs were assessed for CFUs. B–D Strep-R MAH CFUs were assessed in the large intestine (B), small intestine (C), and MLNs (D) at each timepoint
