The WT KanR strain produces severe inflammation of the cecum characterized by epithelial erosion and necrosis (er), infiltration of PMNs (p), edema (e), and a reduction in the number of goblet cells (g) whereas the ΔSPI-13 mutant produces mild or more similar to the level of inflammation observed with mock-infected controls.
