Aeromonas dhakensis shortens the life span of Caenorhabditis elegans. (A) Worms infected with A. dhakensis and A. dhakensis mixed with Escherichia coli OP50 (1:1) had a significantly shorter life span when compared with control E. coli OP50. (B) A. dhakensis AAK1 showed toxicity when compared with heat-killed A. dhakensis or control E. coli OP50. (C) In liquid-toxic (LT) assay, the survival rate of C. elegans infected with A. dhakensis was significantly lower than those with control strain E. coli OP50. ^∗∗∗P < 0.0001 by the Mantel-Cox log-rank test.
