Animal Ethics

The following information was supplied relating to ethical approvals (i.e., approving body and any reference numbers):

Mice were housed in the University Laboratory Animal Medicine Facility at the University of Michigan Medical School under specific-pathogen-free conditions. The University Committee on Use and Care of Animals approved all experiments conducted in this study.

Principal Investigator: Michele Swanson

Protocol: PRO00005100

Protocol Title: Legionella Pneumophila, A Genetic Probe of Macrophage Function

Approval Period: 10/2/2013 to 10/2/2016

DNA Deposition

The following information was supplied regarding the deposition of DNA sequences:

Sequencing was for identification only. Results were nearly 100% identical to Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis. There are many such sequences on GenBank already. For example, NR_074675.1 and JF769744.1 matched our sequences to within the error rate of the sequencing technology. Due to this profound lack of novelty, we decided not submit our sequence data to any databases. However, we will provide it as a data supplement for the paper. It consists of three Sanger sequences, and should not present a problem in terms of size.

Funding

Russell Neches was supported by an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation grant to Jonathan Eisen. Luis Zaman was funded by an AT&T Research Labs Fellowship and the BEACON Center for the Study of Evolution in Action. Kaitlin J. Flynn was supported by a University of Michigan Rackham Merit Fellowship and the Molecular Mechanisms of Microbial Pathogenesis training program (NIH T32 AI007528). This material is based in part upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Cooperative Agreement No. DBI-0939454. The funders had no role in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript.
