Figure 1. lys-7 mutant nematodes are hypersensitive to cryptococcal infection, but resistant to S. Typhimurium.

Figure 1

lys-7 knockout animals show reduced survival relative to N2 upon infection with C. neoformans (A); p<0.0001, [lys-7(ok1384) n = 106; N2 n = 151], but wild type sensitivity to S. aureus (B) and P. aeruginosa (C), p>0.05, [lys-7(ok1384) n = 131; N2 n = 168] and p>0.2, [lys-7(ok1384) n = 104; N2 n = 111] respectively. Surprisingly, however, lys-7 mutant animals exhibit enhanced resistance to S. Typhimurium (D); p<0.0001, [lys-7(ok1384) n = 191; N2 n = 242].
