TABLE 2.
Induction levels of gene expression in five of the isolated S. aureus RN4220 clones when cultured in the presence of HSi
| Clone | Homolog | Fold induction in M199 + HSia |
|---|---|---|
| 8-C2 | OppD | 2.1 |
| 9-D10 | Ama | 1.0 |
| 8-H10 | Ask2 | 1.3 |
| 7-B11 | UvrX | 3.0 |
| 4-G8 | Unknown | 3.1 |
a
Induction is expressed as fold increase in β-galactosidase activity of bacteria cultured for 4 h in M199 supplemented with 10% HSi compared to that of bacteria cultured for 4 h in M199. All clones were retested three times, and the fold induction is representative of the individual tests.
