Multiplication of TXhfq, TX01, and TXhfqC in host macrophages. Flounder head kidney macrophages were infected with TXhfq, TX01, or TXhfqC. After removing uninfected bacteria, the cells were incubated at 28 °C for different hours, and intracellular bacterial recovery was determined by plate count. Data are presented as means ± E (N = 3).
