The survival of Atg5-deficient mice infected with a dose of 5 × 105 CFU/mouse was 70% (MTTD = 7.5 days), while in the control group of mice was 0% leading to death between 4 and 10 days post infection (MTTD = 6 days) (p < 0.0001) (Figure 1b, Table 1). This evidence concerns the gene ATG5 and infection.
