Transcriptional responses to acute B. pseudomallei infection. Hierarchical clustering of the expression profile of liver and spleen infected with B. pseudomallei at 16, 24 and 42 hpi according to functional categories. The heat maps indicate the fold change in liver or spleen gene expression greater than (red) or less than (green) 2-fold at least once during the time course. Genes whose expression did not change are coloured in black. *, immune-related genes known to be associated with the general bacterial infection.
