FIG 4.

Virulence of P. aeruginosa aminoglycoside-hypersusceptible mutants in a C. elegans model system. Data present the growth kinetics of C. elegans in the presence of either the PA14 wild-type strain or the P. aeruginosa hypersusceptible mutants. Error bars indicate standard deviations of the results from four independent experiments. Statistically significant differences (P < 0.005) in the survival of nematodes with respect to the wild-type strain were evaluated using Student's t test and are highlighted with two asterisks.
