Pseudomonas donghuensis HYS virulence towards Caenorhabditis elegans is regulated by the Cbr/Crc system

Pseudomonas donghuensis HYS is the type strain of a recently identified species, P . donghuensis , which has pathogenic potential with an unclear virulence mechanism. In this study, we used Caenorhabditis elegans as a host to explore the virulence mechanism of P . donghuensis HYS. Based on a correlation between P . donghuensis HYS virulence and its repellence property, we identified 68 potential virulence-related genes, among them the Cbr/Crc...
