Slc11a1 does not confer resistance to Y. pestis KIM5. C3H/HeN mice were backcrossed with C57BL/6J mice, maintaining the functional Slc11a1 gene (R) for nine generations. Groups of eight mice containing either one copy (R/S) or zero copies (S/S) of functional Slc11a1 were infected with 50 (A) or 300 (B) CFU Y. pestis KIM5 and monitored for survival for 15 days (P = 0.43 and 0.74 for panels A and B, respectively).
