<i>P. aeruginosa</i> PA14 virulence-attenuated genes identified in the <i>C. elegans</i> infection model.

<p>Genes are listed in descending order of contribution to virulence (according to the ratio of mutant LT₅₀/wild-type LT₅₀) using the data from <a href="http://www.plospathogens.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.ppat.1002813#ppat-1002813-g002" target="_blank">Figure 2</a>. Genes previously identified as required for normal levels of <i>P. aeruginosa</i> virulence in various model systems are indicated. In some cases only <i>P. aeruginosa</i> strains other than PA14 were examined and the strain and mode of killing is indicated in parentheses. The other pathogens, in which orthologs of these genes have been implicated in virulence, are noted in the last column.
