Abstract excerpt
The influence of genetic background on the ability to control infection with group A streptococci was investigated in different inbred strains of mice. Whereas BALB/c, C57BL/10, and DBA/2 mice were the most resistant strains, with lower bacteria loads and higher survival times, C3H/HeN and CBA/J mice exhibited substantially higher bacterial growth and 100% mortality. Differences in susceptibility were not...
