Survival of G. mellonella larvae infected with passaged B. pseudomallei was monitored over 40 h. (A) G. mellonella larvae were injected with the first, fifth, and 28th passaged B. pseudomallei strain HBPUB15305A (102 CFUs). (B) G. mellonella larvae were injected with the first, fifth, and 28th passaged B. pseudomallei reference strain K96243 (102 CFUs). Each data set is a representative of a single trial with % survival of infected larvae. Control larvae (PBS injected larvae) did not die in any given trial. Asterisks indicate significant differences (p < 0.05).
