Changes in gene expression 2 h and 6 h after internalization shown by functional categories. Percent changes at 2 h (white) and 6 h (grey) was calculated by dividing the number of significantly changed genes by total genes at the given time point. Genes were assigned functional groups using annotated public database and metabolic pathways databases (COG). Categories are: E: Amino acid transport and metabolism, G: Carbohydrate transport and metabolism, D: Cell cycle control, cell division, chromosome partitioning, M: Cell wall/membrane/envelope biogenesis, H: Coenzyme transport and metabolism, V: Defense mechanisms, C: Energy production and conversion, R: General function prediction only, P: Inorganic ion transport and metabolism, U: Intracellular trafficking, secretion, and vesicular transport I: Lipid transport and metabolism, F: Nucleotide transport and metabolism, O: Posttranslational modification, protein turnover, chaperones, L: Replication, recombination and repair, Q: Secondary metabolites biosynthesis, transport and catabolism, T: Signal transduction mechanisms, K: Transcription, J: Translation, ribosomal structure and biogenesis, and VF for virulence factor.
