Nematode slow-kill virulence assays on NGM agar. The ability of EAEC 042, (A) 042 Δaat, (B) 042 ΔaggR, 042 ΔaggR+pBADaggR, (C) 042 Δpet and 042 Δpet+pCEFN1 to kill the nematode worm C. elegans was examined over a 10 day period. Error bars represent +/− standard error. The 042 ΔaggR (LT₅₀: 5.2, P<0.001) and 042 Δpet (LT₅₀: 4.29, P<0.05) strains had significantly higher LT₅₀ than the 042 wildtype (LT₅₀: 3.1). Complementation of these genes via pBADaggR (LT₅₀: 3.4) or pCEFN1 (LT₅₀: 3.6) restored the LT₅₀ to wildtype levels. The 042 Δaat strain had an LT₅₀ similar to wildtype (LT₅₀: 2.9).
