Differentially or highly expressed A. pleuropneumoniae genes with expected or putative functions in cell wall/membrane biogenesis.

*Genes previously identified as being relevant for A. pleuropneumoniae infection or biofilm formation [11], [17], [18], [20]–[22].**Haemophilus influenzae genes required in the lung determined in a murine pulmonary model of infection [25].aLocus numbers from A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 5 (L20).bFunction of genes according to Clusters of Clusters of Orthologous Groups of proteins (COGs). M: cell wall/membrane biogenesis; R: general function prediction, only; S: function unknown.cP-values are only included for the genes that were differentially expressed over time, the constitutively highly expressed genes were of course not significant (NS).
