Fig. 5. OmpA promotes intracellular survival of Y. pseudotuberculosis.

Fig. 5

Wild-type Y. pseudotuberculosis YPIII, ΔyopB and ΔompA strains were added to RAW 264.7 cells at a MOI of 10. After a 45-min attachment period excess bacteria were removed and gentamicin was added to half of the wells. ‘Uptake’ (open bars) was determined by dividing the number of CFUs recovered from the gentamicin-containing wells by the number of CFUs recovered from the untreated wells following an additional 1.5 hrs of infection. ‘Intracellular survival’ (closed bars) was determined by dividing the number of CFUs recovered from gentamicin-containing wells after 5 hrs of infection by the number of CFUs recovered from the gentamicin-containing wells after 1.5 hours of infection. One of three independent experiments is shown.
