<i>C. elegans </i>bacteria colonization data set. Wild type (N2) vs. pmk-1 knockout (KU25) worms colonized with GFP-labeled E. coli OP50 bacteria

This is a <i>C. elegans </i>dataset used to test and validate the Systematic Imaging of <i>Caenorhabditis </i>Killing Organisms (SICKO) imaging and analysis pipeline. The dataset consists of raw TIF image files containing fluorescent images of individual <i>C. elegans</i> cultured in custom single-worm culture environments (DOI: 10.3791/64682). Wild type (strain N2) or pmk-1 knockout (strain KU25) <i>C. elegans</i> were challenged with GFP-labeled <i>E. coli </i>OP50 bacteria, washed to remove non-adherent bacteria, and transferred to single-worm culture environment wells with unlabeled bacteria. Each worm was imaged daily to quantify fluorescent intestinal bacterial colonies.<br><br><i>For inquiries regarding the contents of this dataset, please contact the Corresponding Author listed in the README.txt file.
