Fig. 7: Impact of RmlT activity in the ability of L.

monocytogenes to infect mice. Bacterial counts in the spleens (a) and livers (b) of the mice 72 h after intravenous inoculation of the L. monocytogenes strains EGDe ΔrmlT, EGDe ΔrmlT::rmlT or EGDe ΔrmlT::rmlTD198A. Data are presented as scatter plots, with the counts for each animal indicated by dots and the mean by a horizontal line (n = 5 refers to the number of animals, except for EGDe ΔrmlT::rmlT in which n = 4); one-way ANOVA; **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
