Motility is an adaptive trait for P. aeruginosa in the burn infection setting. (A) Each of the 108 mutated genes was functionally classified using PseudoCAP. A percentage of genes’ mutated measure was determined by relating the number of mutated genes to the total number of genes within each functional category. (B) Each unique P. aeruginosa isolate was stab inoculated into 0.3% LB agar plates. Plates were imaged after 24 h of incubation at 37°C. Images of each plate was then plotted in the context of population structure. PTM, posttranslational modification; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; RMR, recombination, modification, repair; TCRS, two-component regulatory system.
