Expression of virulence-associated genes in the Δ hfq strain. (A) Western blot detection of proteins in total cell lysates. (B) Quantification of mRNAs encoding virulence-associated proteins. The fold changes in gene transcription levels in the Δhfq and parental WT strains grown to mid-log phase were determined by quantitative real-time RT-PCR. Data analysis was as previously described [42, 43]. Data are the means ± SDs of 5 independent experiments. *, p < 0.05.
