DCLK3 and infection: Significant differences were found both in comparison with the uninfected group (infection with L. plantarum 8p-a3 increases the embryonic death of flies by 30% [P < 0.004] and L. plantarum 8p-a3-Clr-Amx by 51% [P < 0.0013]) and between strains (infection of Drosophila with a resistant strain in comparison with the parent strain increases the embryonic mortality of flies by 29.5% [P < 0.017]).
