Figure 2. MgtC has an important role in the growth of S. Typhi within human cells.

Figure 2

Infection assays in U937 (A) and HEp-2 (B) human cells using WT (STH2370 wild type), ΔmgtC (mgtC−), ΔmgtC/pBmgtC (mgtC +) and ΔmgtC/pBBR-5 (mgtC−) strains. Culture cells were infected at a MOI of 50∶1 (U937) and 100∶1 (HEp-2), respectively. Colonies were counted at time 2 h and 24 h and expressed as a percentage of intracellular survival. Values represent the mean of at least three independent experiments ±SD (*p<005).
