a

Abbreviations: APEX, absolute protein expression; FASP-TPA, filter aided sample preparation-total protein approach; HRM-MS, hyper reaction monitoring mass spectrometry; Met, methionine. The values in parentheses are from Shigella dysenteriae, a very close relative of E. coli (88).

b

The FASP-TPA values are low due to analysis of stationary-phase cells (89).
