Weight variation in C57BL/6 mice infected with S. aureus strains . Animals were infected with ATCC 19095 SEC⁺, N315 ST5 TSST-1⁺, S-70 TSST-1⁺ or ATCC 51650 TSST-1⁺. Weight variation at 3, 7 and 14 days after infection is illustrated. Data is presented by mean ± SE of 5-9 mice. *represents the difference between initial weight and the weight in each time interval. p < 0.05.
