SMOX and infection: As shown in Fig 6A, we monitored the short-term (5 days) virulence of the P. aeruginosa strains towards C. elegans. The WT effectively killed C. elegans and over 70% of C. elegans infected with PAO1 died after 5 days post infection while C. elegans mixed with Escherichia coli OP50 (the control strain) remained alive.
