[lysozyme-1] This Caenorhabditis elegans gene is one of several paralogs encoding a putative lysozyme and plays a role in innate immunity. Overexpression increases resistance to infection by Serratia marcescens. lys-1 expression is induced by infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa but not Serratia marcescens. lys-1 protects against Serratia marcescens and Staphylococcus aureus (Mallo et al, 2002; Jensen et al, 2010)
