Expression of pbsP is upregulated in vivo. (A) RT-PCR analysis of pbsP mRNA levels in bacteria grown in Todd-Hewitt broth (TH) or isolated from the kidneys and brains of BM110-infected mice. Values are presented as ratios relative to the values observed in bacteria grown in TH broth. Results are means ± SD from four independent experiments performed in triplicate. (B) RT-PCR analysis of pbsP mRNA levels in wild-type CC17 BM110 strain (BM110), wild-type CC23 NEM316 strain (NEM316) and their respective CovR deletion mutants (BM110 ΔCovR and NEM316 ΔCovR). Values were normalized for those observed in wild-type BM110. Results are means ± SD from three independent experiments performed in triplicate. *p < 0.05; ***p < 0.001 by Student’s t test; ns, non-significant.
