Twenty naive blue gouramis per group were infected intramuscularly with E. piscicida wild-type (WT) strain, ΔeseJ strain or ΔeseJΔfimA strain at ~2.48 × 105 CFU per fish per strain. Survival of blue gourami were monitored for 7 days. Means ± SEM of three independent experiments are shown. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001. ΔeseJ VS WT, red asterisks; ΔeseJΔfimA VS WT, blue asterisks.
