摘要: A variety of bacterial infections cause muscle necrosis in humans. Caenorhabditis elegans has epidermis and bands that resemble soft tissue structures mammals Here, we developed a model caused by Aeromonas dhakensis infection C. elegans. Our data showed A. infected killed rapidly. Characteristic damage induced was demonstrated vivo. Relative expression levels host necrosis-associated genes, asp-3, asp-4 crt-1 increased significantly after infection. The RNAi sensitive NL2099 rrf-3 (pk1426) worms with knockdown genes prolonged survival Specifically WM118 worms, which restricted only to the cells, conferred significant resistance In contrast, severity toxicity produced hemolysin-deletion mutant is attenuated. another example, shiga-like toxin-producing enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) known elicit concomitant enteropathogenicty, did not as did. Taken together, these results show induces rapid death elegans, are similar humans, then validate value studying pathogenicity.
