1. Pyoverdine production measured as RFUs standardized by OD significantly decreases with length of infection in years.
Pyoverdine production measured as RFUs standardized by OD significantly decreases with length of infection in years. Isolates come from 36 different patients who were longitudinally sampled, covering 54 different clone types and three types of pyoverdine that fluoresce at different strengths. Each dot represents the pyoverdine production of one isolate (n = 451). The line represents the average decrease in pyoverdine production controlling for patient identity and pyoverdine type.
