Morphologic changes in the infected phagocytes induced by mycobacteria. a Frequency of characteristic changes. The table reports absolute numbers of incidences and sums of morphological types. b Correspondence analysis map for mycobacterial strains and cellular changes. The map was derived from a two-cross tabulation: 1) cellular morphology types, which consisted of four elements (normal shaped macrophages, karyorrhectic, karyopyknotic, and karyolitic phagocytes), 2) six mycobacterial strains (AB1, AB2, AV1, AV2, TB1, TB2). Dispersions of variables produced an asymmetric map, its centroid (point of no correlation) was labeled by a star. All profile points were plotted around this weighted average. A bar plot of variances is shown at the right top part of the map
