Example of spleens from survivors after aerosol exposure to clinical strains of B. pseudomallei shows heterogeneity of infection. Spleens recovered from surviving mice after exposure to the follow Bp strains, the amount of exposure, and the number of days PI: A, Bp1026b, exposed to 2 CFU, 30 days PI; B, BpMSHR305, exposed to 3 CFU, 35 days PI; and C, Bp1106a, exposed to 2851, 49 days PI. Below each spleen examined was the number of CFU recovered
