Figure Lengend Snippet: Paraburkholderia infection does not protect hosts from pathogenic Salmonella enterica (Se) or Staphylococcus aureus (Sa) bacteria. ( a ) Spore production of hosts when grown on food bacteria (F) or pathogenic Salmonella enterica (Se) or pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus (Sa). ( b ) Estimated effects (points) and 95% confidence intervals of Paraburkholderia infection (Pa, P. agricolaris ; Ph, P. hayleyella ), pathogen infection (Sa or Se) and co-infection (shown joined by *) on D. discoideum spore production. Spore production values were scaled by subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation.
Article Snippet: To assess fitness effects associated with carriage of Paraburkholderia , we chose two pathogenic bacteria species known to infect D. discoideum intracellularly ( Staphylococcus aureus Rosenbach (Wichita) ATCC 29213, and Salmonella enterica ATCC 14028) [ , ].
