Chico mutants succumb to P. luminescens infection. Survival of 7-10 day old Drosophila melanogaster chico mutants and yellow white (yw) background control flies following intrathoracic injection with (a) non-pathogenic Escherichia coli bacteria (strain K12) or (b) pathogenic Photorhabdus luminescens bacteria (strain TT01). Injections with sterile PBS were used as septic injury controls. Survival was monitored for 72 h at 6-h intervals. Data analysis was performed using Log-Rank test (GraphPad Prism5 software) and the values are the percent survival of the infected flies. The means from three independent experiments are shown and error bars represent standard errors
