Fig 3. The response of the BsfDuox gene and BsfTLR3 gene in the gut during oral infection.

Fig 3

(A) Expression levels of BsfDuox at different time points in whole guts (without Malpighian tubules) after oral infection with S. aureus and Salmonella spp. (B) Expression levels of BsfTLR3 at different time points in whole guts (without Malpighian tubules) after oral infection with S. aureus and Salmonella spp. (C) The total intestinal ROS levels were quantified with flies at different time points after oral infection. Data are representative of three independent experiments (mean ± SEM). Statistical comparison was based on Student’s t–test (*p< 0.05,**p< 0.01, ***p< 0.001). Different letters indicate a significant difference in BsfDuox expression and BsfTLR3 expression and ROS levels among the oral infection with Salmonella spp. or S. aureus.
