Figure 3

The virulence of L. pneumophila outbreak isolates correlates with T4SS content. G. mellonella survival curves representing the mean for isolates grouped according to the combination of T4SS, including presence of the Lvh T4ASS Philadelphia (red), Lvh T4ASS novel (blue), and isolates without T4ASS Philadelphia or T4ASS novel (black). Larvae infected with isolates which encoded the Lvh T4ASS novel had a lower survivability compared with those with infected other isolates (P = 0.04).
