Modeling Aeromonas Pathogenesis in C. elegans Using a Survival Assay
Abstract
Source: Chen, Y., et al. Evaluating Virulence and Pathogenesis of Aeromonas Infection in a Caenorhabditis elegans Model. J. Vis. Exp. (2018)This video demonstrates a survival assay using C. elegans to model Aeromonas pathogenesis, where oral ingestion of the bacteria leads to intestinal infection and mortality, enabling quantitative assessment of bacterial virulence in a live host system.
