Comparative analysis of transcriptional profiles of vicK mutant (UAvic) with parent strain UA159 in the presence and absence of serum. Strains at mid- and late-log phases of growth were harvested and exposed to BHI or BHI supplemented with 20% human serum before RNA isolation. Relative amounts of transcripts of UA159 at each condition were set to 100% to calculate relative transcript levels obtained with UAvic at the same condition. VicRKSm-downstream genes encoding murein hydrolases (A), metabolic enzymes (B) and peptidases of the complement (C) were analyzed. Columns represent means of three independent experiments; bars represent standard deviations. Asterisks indicate significant differences in relation to parent strain (ANOVA with post hoc Dunnett’s test; * p<0.05).
