elt-2(RNAi) animals are unable to resolve an infection.

(A) Control fer-1(b232ts) or fer-1(b232ts) elt-2(RNAi) young adult animals were exposed to E. coli or S. enterica—GFP for 36 hours and then transferred to E. coli or S. enterica—GFP and scored for survival. (B) Control fer-1(b232ts) or fer-1(b232ts) elt-2(RNAi) animals were exposed to E. coli or S. enterica—GFP for 36 hours and then transferred to E. coli or E. coli plus Tetracycline and scored for survival. (C) Control fer-1(b232ts) or fer-1(b232ts) pmk-1(RNAi) young adult animals were exposed to E. coli or S. enterica—GFP for 36 hours and then transferred to E. coli or S. enterica—GFP and scored for survival. (D) Control fer-1(b232ts) or fer-1(b232ts) pmk-1(RNAi) animals were exposed to E. coli or S. enterica—GFP for 36 hours and then transferred to E. coli or E. coli plus Tetracycline and scored for survival. N = 60 animals per condition. The graphs represent the combined results of 3 independent experiments.
