This is in sharp contrast with results from other researchers working with cells growing at pH7 who have found genes that can lead to toxic shock and sepsis as the exotoxins 6 (ssl1) and 15 (ssl11) over-expressed in both BF and planktonic cells, and in addition, in planktonic cells the genes encoding exotoxin 3(ssl14) and enterotoxin K (sek) also up-regulated (Aguilar et al., 2017). Here, EPHA4 is linked to Sepsis.
