Fig. 5: Heat map representing the functional characterization of A. baumannii OmpA-like proteins.

The role of each gene in bacterial physiology, virulence, and stress tolerance was assessed by different methods, as previously described. The color code represents the relationship with WT data, based on p values, with blue and pink highlighting that mutants were more defective or proficient, respectively, compared to the WT for each specific feature. The darkness of the color is directly proportional to the statistical significance value. White boxes indicate no statistical difference compared to the WT strain.
