It seems that animals with multifocal lesions with higher levels of EGR4-expressing cells in their gut tissues were able to control infection and lived longer (7.44 ± 2.07), while animals with multifocal lesions with lower numbers of EGR4-expressing cells were not able to control disease progression, developed clinical signs, and were sacrificed at an earlier age (3.46 ± 1.37). This evidence concerns the gene EGR4 and infection.
