Selection for increased resistance to Salmonella carrier-state (defined as the persistency of the bacteria 4 wk after inoculation) could reduce the risk for the consumer of food toxi-infections. The effects of two genomic regions on chromosomes 7 and 17 harboring two genes, NRAMP1 (SLC11A1) and TLR4, known to be involved in the level of chicken infection 3 d after inoculation by Salmonella were thus tested on a...
