Lb21 but not Lb23 increases MRSA tolerance in C. elegans. (a) Survival of rrf-3(pk1426) mutants pretreated with Lb21, Lb23 and OP50 for 48 h before being shifted to MRSA strain 43484. (b) Survival of rrf-3(pk1426) mutants pretreated with Lb21, Lb23 and OP50 for 48 h before being shifted to MRSA strain 64. (c) Survival of rrf-3(pk1426) mutants after pretreatment with Lb21, Lb23 and OP50 for 48 h before being challenged with the pathogen ETEC F18. Graphs show a representative experiment from several independent experiments. See Table S1 for mean ± SD and log-rank test significance. (d) CFU level on day 6 of Lb21, Lb23 or OP50 and MRSA 43484 in rrf-3(pk1426) mutants pretreated for 48 h with Lb21, LB23 or OP50, respectively (3 technical replicates, n = 10 animals pr. group).
