Fig 5. Correlation between the life span and fertility of C. elegans infected with STEC strains.

Fig 5

The STEC (E15, E18 and E22) strains showed an increase in colonisation, which correlates with a decrease in longevity and fertility of the worm (C. elegans). This is considered evidence of STEC pathogenicity in the C. elegans model.
