From: phoP, SPI1, SPI2 and aroA mutants of Salmonella Enteritidis induce a different immune response in chickens

Figure 3

Salmonella counts in organs of chickens inoculated with wild-type S. Enteritidis and its mutants. Chickens were inoculated on day of hatch with SPI1, SPI2, phoP and aroA S. Enteritidis mutants and challenged on day 22 of life. The data represent individual values and median CFU/g tissue. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences from chickens inoculated with wild-type S. Enteritidis at P ≤ 0.05 (*). Non-vaccinated chickens infected on day 22 of life are designated as “nv”. Some values from the chicken cecum are missing due to an overgrowth of plates with non-Salmonella microbiota resistant to nalidixic acid.
