Metabolism-related biofunctions significantly regulated in endothelial host cells by E. bovis infection. A Fisher’s exact test was used to calculate a p-value (bars) determining the probability that the association between the genes in the different datasets (4 h p.i. = dark blue bars, 4 days p.i. = medium blue bars, 8 days p.i. = bright blue bars, 14 days p.i. = black bars) and the respective biofunctions can be explained by random chance. The threshold (yellow line) refers to the cut off for p ≤ 0.05. (A color figure is available at www.vetres.org.)
