In contrast, and in keeping with several published studies showing an in vivo role for Nramp1 in controlling Salmonella infection [41, 50–52], a significant decline in recoverable CFUs was detected from 6 to 10 h post-infection in Nramp1+ BMDM relative to wild type macrophages (Fig 5D). Here, SLC11A1 is linked to Salmonella Infections.
