Fig. 6

The overall bacterial growth (BER, BED, BIM and BID) within a single patch topology (Topology A) when perfusion is reduced to a 4.5, b 1.3, c 0.5. Line is mean, shading is standard deviation. Reducing perfusion allows a bacterial presence to be established. In a no major initial infection takes place and the infection level remains fairly constant throughout. In b a pattern similar to the reduced recruitment rate in Fig. 5 is seen. In c, the reduced perfusion results in a saw-tooth pattern, whereby latency is now involves an oscillating, rather than constant, level of bacteria
