In 1928, Frederick Griffith injected four groups of mice with different strains of the bacteria, Streptococcus pneumoniae. The smooth strain had a polysaccharide capsule that protected the bacteria from the mouse’s immune system. The rough strain did not have this capsule. The details of each group and the results of the experiment are shown in the table below.
