As observed for AIEC-LF82, in case of Salmonella infection the absence of either ELMO1 or NOD2 or both resulted in a delayed bacterial clearance (Figure 4(c)) and significant decline in levels of IL-6 (Figure 4(d)) and IL-1β (Figure S5A) compared to C1 cells. Here, NOD2 is linked to Salmonella Infections.
