The mRNA levels of Slc2a1 (Glut1) and Pkm2 were enhanced significantly after infection with wild-type C. rodentium or the mutant strain Δnleb+pNleBc compared to infections with the mutant strain Δnleb and the mutant strain Δnleb+pNleBc-DXD (Fig 8A). This evidence concerns the gene SLC2A1 and infection.
