Figure 10From: The Francisella pathogenicity island protein IglA localizes to the bacterial cytoplasm and is needed for intracellular growthΔ iglA mutant is less virulent in chicken embryos. Infection of chicken embryos with 600 CFU of wild type (JL0) F. novicida lead to death of 7/7 embryos in 5 days (Panel A), whereas infection with 4,500 CFU of the ΔiglA strain (ODB2) lead to the death of 1/7 embryos in 6 days (Panel B).Back to article page
