^*WT compared to Control or ltxA mutant is significantly different p<0.05 by ANOVA and Tukey's Studentized Range post-hoc test.

^†WT is significantly different from Control or ltxA mutant by Fisher's Exact Test and Cochran Armitage Trend test.

Some of the data shown in Table 3 appeared in one of our previously published manuscripts [26]. The data are in Tables 2 and 4 of that manuscript.
