Discrete deterministic model of time in days to reach 105 cells per gram (g) of body mass from start of infection of animals of different masses and for different in vivo growth rates (doubling time) for a bacterial pathogen that equally infectious for all tissues. See text for the description of the model. The body masses correspond to the masses of the species presented in Fig. 1
