Differential expression of IEG’s during contact with T3SS and T6SS defective P. aeruginosa strains. A Total number of differentially regulated immediate-early response genes Only genes with a p-value ≤ 0.05, fold change > 2, and average FPKM difference > 7 were analyzed as differentially regulated genes. B Heatmap of differentially regulated early response genes in epithelial cells incubated with P. aeruginosa PA14 (PA14), heat-killed P. aeruginosa PA14 (HK), P. aeruginosa PA14::pscC (T3SS), and P. aeruginosa PA14 ΔHSI-II : : III (T6SS) compared to non-infected mock control
