Abstract

Larvae of (Greater Wax Moth) have been shown to be susceptible to infection and our study characterizes this infection model. Following infection with human isolates, bacteria were visible in the haemocoel and gut of challenged larvae, and there was extensive damage to the gut. Bacteria were found in the extracellular and cell-associated fraction in the haemocoel, and it was shown that can survive in insect cells. Finally, we have used the model to screen a further 67 isolates belonging to different MLST types. Isolates belonging to ST257 were the most virulent in the model, whereas those belonging to ST21 were the least virulent.
