Figure 5

Association of Salmonella strains with host cells in whole blood. Association of GFP-transformed S. Enteritidis (A, C) and S. Gallinarum (B, D) with host cells (monocytes, heterophils, thrombocytes and T lymphocytes) in whole blood of WLA (A, B) and R11 chickens (C, D) was determined by flow cytometry and is presented as percentage of Salmonella associated with the host cell type relative to the total Salmonella population in the blood sample. Data of six different donors per chicken line analysed in independent experiments is presented as mean and SD. + indicates a significant difference compared to 0 min (p ≤ 0.05), # indicates a significant difference compared to R11 chickens (p ≤ 0.05), $ indicates a significant difference compared to S. Gallinarum in same chicken line (p ≤ 0.05).
