Remarkably, the genes whose pre-inoculation expression profiles were found associated with post-inoculation Salmonella shedding levels included major genes already reported in literature as DE during Salmonella infection and involved with host resistance against Salmonella such as SLC11A1, TLR4, CD14 and CCR1[4, 20]. The gene discussed is SLC11A1; the disease is Salmonella Infections.
