Figure 6: The mgtB Pro 555, 556 Ala substitution promotes Salmonella’s survival inside macrophages and virulence in mice.

From: Elongation factor P restricts Salmonella’s growth by controlling translation of a Mg2+ transporter gene during infection

Figure 6

(A) Replication inside J774 A.1 macrophages of wild-type (14028s), the mgtB derivative with Pro codons replaced by Ala codons (EN873), the mgtB deletion mutant (EN481), or an mgtC deletion mutant (EL4) Salmonella at 21 h after infection. (B,C) Survival of C3H/HeN mice inoculated intraperitoneally with ~200 (B) or ~3000 (C) colony forming units of the Salmonella strains listed above.
