The Campylobacter jejuni Cj0268c Protein Is Required for Adhesion and Invasion In Vitro
Figure 6
(1) Parental strain NCTC 11168, (2) cj0268c knockout mutant (NCTC 11168::cj0268c), (3) complemented knockout mutant (NCTC 11168::cj0268c-comp-cj0268c). The numbers of colonies of the respective fourth dilution plated onto blood agar are shown. The cj0268c knockout mutant shows a clearly diminished resistance to Triton X-100. When defining the number of wild type colonies as 100%, the mean value of colonies recovered from the corresponding cj0268c-mutant was 21.3% (±9.02, P<0.0039). After complementation of the mutant with an intact copy of cj0268c the percentage of colonies obtained increased to 91.3%.
