physiological function | allelic exchange mutants in eryC of Brucella suis are erythritol sensitive in vitro with a minimal inhibitory concentration of 1 to 5 mM of erythritol. Their multiplication in macrophage-like cells is 50- to 90fold reduced, but complementation of the mutant restores wild-type levels of intracellular multiplication and the capacity to use erythritol as a sole carbon source. In vivo, the eryC mutant colonize the spleens of infected BALB/c mice to a significantly lower extent than the wild-type. eryC mutants that are in addition spontaneously erythritol tolerant nevertheless exhibit wild-type-like intramacrophagic and intramurine replication | Brucella suis |
