Fig. 4. Virulence according to VAG combinations and HPI.

Fig. 4

a Number of mice killed over ten according to the combination of iron acquisition-related VAGs iroN, iucA, sitA. These individual genes are representative of their gene cluster. In each facet, each point represents the number of mice killed by a given strain according to the VAG or combination of VAGs it carries. Strains with or without the HPI are represented by red and green points, respectively. b Odds ratios (95% confidence interval) and p-value for the status “killer” (i.e. at least 9/10 mice killed)11 (Two-sided Fisher exact test) as a function of the presence of the HPI in strains carrying different VAG combinations. A related figure detailing the phylogroup of each strain is available in Fig. S8.
