FIGURE 7.
Net replication of monophasic S. Typhimurium ST34 in activated RAW macrophages is sodCI dependent but sil / pco independent. Box and whiskers plot indicating the mean number of bacterial CFUs 24 h post-infection, relative to 2 h post infection of wild type monophasic S. Typhimurium strain S04698-09 and otherwise isogenic strains containing deletions of the sodCI gene, the sil/pco genes together, or all three loci deleted. ∗Indicates that groups indicated by lines were significantly different (p < 0.05).
