Survival after ip challenge with 2.5 × 105 CFU B cepacia plotted as a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. The plot demonstrates the survival of gene corrected p47phox−/− mice (Gene Rx Knock Out), uncorrected control p47phox−/− mice (untreated Knock Out), and WT control mice (Wild Type) after bacterial infection challenge. The vertical axis is the proportion of mice surviving and the horizontal axis is time after challenge in days. The value for “n” equals the number of mice alive in each group at the time of challenge. All WT mice survived the challenge and remain alive, while two of the Gene Rx Knock Out group survived the challenge long term and remain alive at the time of this report.
