TABLE 2.
Competition assays to measure the contribution of SodCII during infection
| Mouse genotype | Salmonella strain A genotypea | Salmonella strain B genotypea | Median CIb | No. of mice | Pc |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BALB/c | ΔsodCI ΔsodCII | ΔsodCI | 1.14§† | 14 | NS |
| ΔsodCI ΔsodCII pmrA(Con) | ΔsodCI pmrA(Con) | 0.58§ | 18 | 0.01 | |
| Cnlp−/− BALB/c | ΔsodCI | Wild type | 0.10 | 2 | 0.002 |
| ΔsodCI ΔsodCII | ΔsodCI | 0.64† | 11 | 0.01 |
a
Strains used were JS931, JS932, JS933, JS934, JS935, JS936, and 14028.
b
Competitive index, calculated as follows: (percent strain A recovered/percent strain B recovered)/(percent strain A inoculated/percent strain B inoculated). The indicated results are significantly different (§, P = 0.05; †, P = 0.05).
c
Student's t test was used to compare the output and the inoculums. NS, not significant.
