Abstract excerpt
Infection of inbred mouse strains with Citrobacter rodentium represents an ideal model to reveal the genetic factors controlling host resistance to noninvasive enteric bacterial pathogens. We have chosen a positional cloning approach to identify putative gene(s) that control the known difference in survival between resistant C57BL/6J and susceptible C3H/HeJ and C3H/HeOuJ mice. Our work has identified one major...
