Invasion of epithelial cells by strains possessing or lacking SPI-1. (a) Comparative analysis of invasion of epithelial cells by Salmonella enterica strain SV9244 (ΔSPI-1) upon single infection and upon mixed infection with SV7884 (sipB::GFP) in a 1:1 proportion. Blue bars: SV7224; SV9244: red bars. (b) Invasion of epithelial cells by Salmonella enterica strain SV9244 (ΔSPI-1) upon single infection and upon mixed infection with SV7884 (sipB::GFP) in various proportions. (c) Invasion rates of S. enterica upon mixed infections with Escherichia coli (green bars) using different Escherichia:Salmonella ratios. (d) Invasion of epithelial cells by the wild type (wt), SV9244, a strain lacking SPI-1 (ΔSPI-1), a culture made from cells originated during ΔSPI-1 culture and supernatant from a wild type culture, and a culture made from cells generated by a wild type culture and supernatant from ΔSPI-1 culture. In all experiments, antibiotic markers were used to distinguish the strains. Averages and standard deviations from >3 independent experiments are shown. Statistical indications: ns, not significantly different; ****P < 0.0001, ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05, Student’s t-test.
