Competition assays in the insect. Equal numbers of A) TT01 and BMM800 (ΔflgG) and B) TT01 and BMM802 (ΔmotAB) were mixed and injected into G. mellonella larvae. The proportion (%) of motile:non-motile bacteria was determined in the initial mixture before injection and this is reported as Day 0. At Day 3 and Day 21 the proportion of motile:non-motile bacteria was determined in each of 10 individual insects. The results shown are the mean ± SD of 3 experiments.
