Typhimurium strains were grown aerobically at 42uC for 16 hours in LB broth. This temperature of incubation was used since it corresponds for the body temperature of chicks. For single and competitive infections, fifteen 4-day old unsexed White Leghorn chicks were orally inoculated with 109 CFU of a single strain or with an equal mixture on the strains to be tested inside a volume of 100 ml of sterile PBS. The inoculum was serially diluted and plated to determine the titer and input ratio. Five birds from the infected group had been sacrificed by asphyxiation with CO2 on days 1, 3 and 9 post-infection. Ileum, cecum (including contents), liver and spleen had been collected. These organs have been homogenized in sterile PBS and serial ten-fold dilutions spread on LB agar plates containing the appropriate antibiotics for determination of CFU. For histopathological evaluation, the cecum and liver of experimental animals were fixed in ten formalin for 24 h followed by incubation in 70 ethanol after which embedded in paraffin. TheStatistical AnalysisData obtained from competitive infection experiments have been calculated as a imply ratio of logarithmically converted CFU of mutant to wild form normalized for the input ratio. Error bars indicate common error. Statistical significance was determined working with a two-tailed Students t-test. P values of ,0.05 had been considered statisti.
