D. discoideum predation assay. STM_modA exhibits a loss of resistance to amoeba predation when compared to the wild-type PAO1. Numbers represent D. discoideum cells deposited on the bacterial lawn. The number of phagocytic plaques is inversely proportional to predation resistance. PAO1 was grazed by a minimum of 5000 cells while STM_modA was sensitive to predation by only five cells. Results were consistent among three independently performed assays
