The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a powerful model organism for studying the molecular and cellular mechanisms of innate immunity governed by the intestine. Here, we present a protocol to perform C. elegans survival assays to infection by the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14. Specifically, we describe steps for preparing C. elegans strains and PA14 bacteria for survival assays. This protocol will assist researchers to study genes involved in intestinal innate immunity and gut defense against pathogen infection. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Liu et al.1 and Zheng et al.2
