However, infection of mice with the Sid1-depleted strain produced an equivalent fungal burden in lungs as that of Sid1-expressing yeasts at 8 days post-infection (Fig. 5E) but was strongly attenuated at 14 days (Fig. 5F) similar to the results with the PTS2-protein import pathway-deficient strain (PEX7-RNAi; Fig. 3C and D). The gene discussed is PEX7; the disease is infection.
