Figure 6. Effect of the deletion of the ef_3196/7 operon on virulence.

Figure 6

Deletion mutant of the in vivo induced genes encoding a two-component system (ef_3196/7 operon) has been constructed. Surviving G. mellonella larvae are counted from 16 to 24 hours after infection with E. faecalis V19 (black bar) and E. faecalis ΔTCS (white bar). Bars indicated by an asterisk show a significant difference in comparison with wild type (*, p≤0.05). Experiments were repeated at least three times.
