The intradermal infection of Atg5-deficient mice using the dose of 5 × 106 CFU/mouse resulted in 50% survival during the 15 days observation (MTTD = 7 days) (Figure 1c, Table 1) Thus, for the Atg5-deficient mice, the LD50 was 5 × 106 CFU/mouse (Figure 1c). The gene discussed is ATG5; the disease is infection.
