Priming-enhanced antibacterial immunity was specific to the homogeneous bacteria. (A) Compared to native microbiota, the Enterobacter priming increased mosquito survival upon the Enterobacter challenge. (B) Compared to native microbiota, the Serratia priming increased survival upon the Serratia challenge. (C) Enterobacter priming increased the survival upon the Enterobacter challenge but not the Serratia challenge. The Serratia priming increased the survival upon the Serratia challenge but not the Enterobacter challenge. The survival data of each challenge were generated from three replicates, each had 40 mosquitoes. The survival difference was compared using Chi square test.
