EutR promotes recognition and adaptation to the intracellular environment.

Abstract

<p>(<b>A-C</b>) Competition assays between Δ<i>eutR</i>::Cm^R (CJA007) and Δ<i>eutB</i> (CJA020) strains collected from (<b>A</b>) harvested spleens, (<b>B</b>) the peritoneal cavity, or (<b>C</b>) phagocytized cells at 6 h pi. Mice were intraperitoneally infected with 1:1 mixtures of the Δ<i>eutR</i> and Δ<i>eutB</i> strains. Each column represents a CI. Each column shows the geometric mean value ± SE for each group (n = 2 litters (6–8 animals)). *, <i>P</i> ≤ 0.05; **, <i>P</i> ≤ 0.005; ***, <i>P</i> ≤ 0.0005; <i>P</i> > 0.05 = ns.</p
