Strain PA14, a human clinical isolate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is pathogenic in mice and insects (Galleria mellonella). Analysis of 32 different PA14 mutants in these two hosts showed a novel positive correlation in the virulence patterns. Thus, G. mellonella is a good model system for identifying mammalian virulence factors of P. aeruginosa.
菌株PA14是铜绿假单胞菌的一种人类临床分离株,对小鼠和昆虫(大蜡螟)具有致病性。对这两种宿主中的32种不同PA14突变体的分析表明,毒力模式存在一种新的正相关关系。因此,大蜡螟是鉴定铜绿假单胞菌哺乳动物毒力因子的良好模型系统。
