  1. Section one of the table lists proteins with potential pro/anti-inflammatory, immune-modulatory and microbicidal activities. Section two lists identified bacterial proteins implicated in virulence/survival or serving as a target for host defensive mechanisms.
  2. PSMs: the highest number of peptide-spectral matches (PSMs) is provided for each listed protein * for species abbreviations, see Table 2 (minimal Mascot Percolator PEP value: 10-4).
