Abstract Background Comparative characterization of genome-wide transcriptional changes during infection can help elucidate the mechanisms underlying host susceptibility. In this study transcriptional profiling of the mouse colon was carried out in two cognate lines of mice that differ in their response to Citrobacter rodentium infection susceptible inbred FVB N and resistant outbred Swiss Webster mice. Gene expression in the distal colon was determined prior to infection and at
