Competition assays with complemented strains

Relevant genotype	Name	Median CI^b	No. of mice^c	P^d
Δ(Gifsy-2) pGP704 (vector)	JS232	0.014	12	< 0.0005
Δ(Gifsy-2) psodCI⁺	JS233	0.28	11	< 0.0005
Δ(Gifsy-2) pgtgE⁺	JS234	0.67	12	NS
Δ(Gifsy-2) pgtgE⁺sodCI⁺	JS235	0.62	12	NS

All strains competed against an isogenic wild-type strain (JS231).

CI was calculated according to the formula in Materials and Methods, with the mutant as strain A and the wild type as strain B.

All assays were performed i.p. using BALB/c mice.

Student's t test was used to compare output versus inoculum. NS, not significant.
