^aThe data shown are for all P. aeruginosa genes with activation exceeding 30-fold in mucoid cells and with P values of <0.001.

^bGenes are ordered by decreasing levels of induction.

^cA Lpt designation indicates the presence of a typical lipoprotein signal sequence.

^dPAO3692 lptF was included based on a genetic linkage to PAO3691 lptE and a statistically significant induction (P < 0.005).
