We assessed 15 diverse GBS strains representing four STs and three CPS types at the same infection conditions used in the array (1 hour infection at MOI=10 followed by antibiotic treatment for 1 hour prior to collecting lysates) and found that seven out of eight strains in the ST-17 and ST-19 groups (both of which are CPSIII), induced a significant increase in phospho-p70s6k compared to mock infection (Figures 1A, B). This evidence concerns the gene CAD and infection.
