Correlation between the number of intracellular bacteria and the presence of cell death markers in individual phagocytes in the livers of mice infected with Salmonella enterica: the proportion of infected cells containing one bacterium per cell and two-sided P-values for randomization tests for caspase-3-positive cells at 72 hr, caspase-3-positive cells at 96 hr, and TUNEL-positive cells at 96 hr, along with respective control (marker-negative) groups

	Positive group	Negative group	Two-sided P-values (5 d.p.)
BALB/c caspase-3 (72 hr)	0·663	0·783	0·00040
BALB/c caspase-3 (96 hr)	0·396	0·709	0·00002
BALB/c TUNEL (96 hr)	0·412	0·745	0·00094

BALB/c mice were infected with S. typhimurium C5 (Log₁₀ 3·17 CFU)
