A statistical overrepresentation test using S. aureus essential gene lists from untreated or IL-10-treated HMDMs, shared between untreated and IL-10-treated HMDMs, and outgrowth control was performed in PANTHER using PANTHER GO Biological Process Complete pathways (FDR-adjusted P-value < 0.01; Fisher’s exact test). REFLIST, S. aureus reference gene list.
