From: Identification of genes involved in serum tolerance in the clinical strain Cronobacter sakazakiiES5
Relative levels of hha and fimA mRNA in control (T 0 ) and serum treated (T 120 ) C. sakazakii ES5 wt and mutant 21_G1 (Δ ybaJ ) cells. RNA was isolated from mid exponential growth stage cells prior (T0) and after (T120) human serum exposure. Values were normalized using 16S rRNA as a reference gene. The means and standard deviations (±1SD) from three independent experiments are presented. An asterisk above the bars indicate statistically significant differences in mRNA levels between the C. sakazakii ES5 wt and mutant (P < 0.05).
