The type III secretion system is required for intoxication of A549 lung epithelial cells by P. aeruginosa. A panel of mutants in various components of the type III secretion apparatus (15, 17) was tested as described for Fig. 1 and 2. The results shown were obtained with an MOI of 10 for each bacterial strain; similar results were obtained at an MOI of 1. Shown are the means plus standard deviations of four fields in each of three replicate wells.
