FIG 3 .

SML detection occurs at 4 h postinfection (p.i.). H37Rv was infected with phSP6-ProPol. RNase A was added to phSP6-ProPol prior to initiation of infection, and MRI was added at 0.5 h p.i. At 0.5, 3, and 4 h p.i., RNA was purified, digested with DNase I, and amplified using RT-PCR. Products were then separated on a 2% agarose gel and visualized by ethidium bromide staining. The locations of DNA size markers are indicated.
