Invasion capacity of wild-type C. jejuni and isogenic ciaI mutants lacking domains for secretion.

Strain	Invasion of T84 cells (% inoculum)^a
Wild-type	14.51 ± 1.43
ΔciaI	7.51 ± 0.74*
ΔciaI rdxA::ciaI	12.89 ± 1.56
ΔciaI rdxA::ciaI Δ₁	7.12 ± 1.07*
ΔciaI rdxA::ciaI Δ_4GH	11.14 ± 1.01

Percent invasion was determined by comparing the number of intracellular bacteria surviving a 2 h gentamicin treatment of infected T84 cells compared to the number of bacteria in the infecting inoculum (approximately 3.0 × 10⁶ cfu). Each assay was performed in triplicate, and at least three biological replicates were performed. The average percent invasion +/− standard error for each strain is presented. Statistically-significant differences in invasion between wild-type C. jejuni and mutant strains are indicated (* P-value < 0.05).
