The co-transcriptome of GBS-infected human monocytes. Extensive reshaping of transcriptional activity in human monocytes containing iGBS (6 h infection) highlighting a selection of strongly activated genes with upregulated transcription (red) or downregulated transcription (green) during the host–pathogen interaction. A total of 1119 dysregulated transcripts were detected in iGBS with 745 upregulated (red) and 374 downregulated (green) transcripts (± twofold; P-adj < 0.05). Percentages of transcripts upregulated or downregulated were calculated using total numbers of mapped transcripts for GBS (2,100; using accession NZ_CP022537.1) and U937 monocytes (28,516; using accession hg38(GRCh38.p13)). These numbers for GBS were: total number of transcripts upregulated = 745/2100 (35.5%) compared to downregulated = 374/2100 (17.8%), and unchanged = 981/2100 (46.7%). The equivalent numbers for monocytes were: total number of transcripts upregulated = 547/28,516 (1.9%) compared to downregulated = 7040/28,516 (24.7%), and unchanged = 20,929/28,516 (73.4%).
