Evaluation of anti-malaria potency of wild and genetically modified Enterobacter cloacae expressing effector proteins in Anopheles stephensi

Table 1 P-value and significance level of Plasmodium berghei development inhibition in paratransgenic Anopheles stephensi harboring different Enterobacter cloacae strains

Enterobacter cloacae strains	Without bacteria	WT	HasA	Sco.	Def.
Without bacteria		***	***	***	***
WT	< 0.0001		No	**	**
HasA	< 0.0001	0.176		No	*
Sco.	< 0.0001	0.007	0.051		No
Def.	< 0.0001	0.003	0.020	0.323

P-value < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. *, **, *** indicate significant difference at P < 0.05, P < 0.01, P < 0.001, respectively
WT, Enterbacter cloacae wild type; HasA, E. cloacae expressing HasA (E. cloacae^HasA); Sco, E. cloacae expressing scorpine and HasA (E. cloacae^S−HasA); Def, E. cloacae expressing defensin and green fluorescent protein (E.cloacae^GFP−D)
