“…Comparing our results to published gene expression data sets, we found many alternately regulated genes in common with C. elegans response to infection, including Microbacterium nematophilum [51] , Pseudomonas aeruginosa [52] , [53] , Drechmeria coniospora [43] , Leucobacter chromiireducens [54] , Candida albicans [55] , Vibrio cholerae [56] , and other pathogens [57] . Genes that were included in the 20nmAgCit general metal response category included those that were differentially regulated in the same direction as by mercury [58] , cadmium [59] , [60] , and/or arsenic [61] , [62] . Gene regulation in the same direction as in response to oxidative stress [63] , [64] , heat shock [65] , ethanol [66] , organophosphates [62] , [67] , [68] , [69] and other xenobiotics including glucose [70] , [71] , [72] , was combined together into a single category, Xen/Str.…”
