Figure 5

Analysis of differentially expressed genes by RNA-seq. A Volcano plots were used to visualize the differentially expressed genes in APEC40 and APEC40-ΔyqeH. Genes with significantly upregulated expression in APEC40-ΔyqeH relative to their expression in APEC40 are indicated with red dots; those downregulated are indicated with blue dots; and grey dots represent genes with no significant difference in expression between the strains. The results showed that 112 genes were upregulated and 101 genes were downregulated in APEC40-ΔyqeH relative to their expression in wild-type strain APEC40 (differentially expressed genes were selected at fold change > 2 and q < 0.005). B KEGG enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes. Top 20 pathways enriched in differentially expressed genes are shown in the figure. C Quantitative differences in the expression levels of 19 differentially expressed virulence-related genes between wild-type strain APEC40 and mutant strain APEC40-ΔyqeH are shown with a heatmap.
