GrhD1 is involved in the intestinal inflammatory response induced by S. Typhimurium in mice. Mice pretreated with streptomycin were infected with the WT S. Typhimurium strain or the ΔgrhD1 mutant, or treated with sterile 1X PBS (Control). The mice were sacrificed two days post-infection and the total weight (g) of the cecum (A) and the spleen (B), as well as the infiltration of neutrophils in the cecum content (C), was measured for each mouse. Samples of the cecum content were analyzed by microcopy to determine the number of neutrophils with respect to the total eukaryotic cells, which is expressed as a percentage score. Data are the average from four separate animals. Bars represent the standard deviations. Statistically different values are indicated (*p < 0.05; ***p < 0.001).
