Figure 3. Differential regulation of transcript expression in GBS strain NEM316 after incubation with human blood.

Figure 3

Genes were classified into 22 main functional categories. Bars indicate the numbers of genes whose expression was modified in the donor A blood sample and the average of the seven other donor blood samples at time 1 and time 2 relative to time 0. On the left, genes that were down-regulated relative to time 0. After 30 min of incubation, 62 transcripts were down-regulated in the donor A blood sample, while 658 transcripts were down-regulated in the other donor blood samples. After 90 min of incubation, 369 transcripts were down-regulated in the donor A blood sample, while 518 transcripts were down-regulated in the other donor blood samples. On the right, genes that were up-regulated relative to time 0. After 30 min of incubation, 160 transcripts were up-regulated in the donor A blood sample, while 134 transcripts were up-regulated in the other donor blood samples. After 90 min of incubation, 270 transcripts were up-regulated in the donor A blood sample, while 115 transcripts were up-regulated in the other donor blood samples.
