Deletion of clpP leads to increased virulence of E. faecalis. G. mellonella were infected with 20 μL inocula of E. faecalis strains containing 5 × 106 CFU/mL, and the survival of G. mellonella larvae was recorded at 12-h intervals for 72 h p.i. Data were collected from three independent experiments, and representative results are shown. **P < 0.01 (log-rank test)
